Abstract Knowledge of the food web structure and complexity are central to better understand
ecosystem functioning. A food-web approach includes both species and energy flows …

The western Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing strong environmental changes as a
consequence of ongoing regional warming. Glaciers in the area are retreating rapidly and …

Food web structure plays an important role in determining ecosystem stability against
perturbations. High-latitude marine ecosystems are being affected by environmental stressors and …

Graphical Abstract Graphical summary of multiple aspects of Southern Ocean food web
structure and function including alternative energy pathways through pelagic food webs, climate …

Spatially explicit models like cellular automata are widely used in ecology. The spatio-temporal
order of events is a new feature of these models that does not have to be considered in …

Food web analyses are powerful tools to understand the structure, dynamics and stability of
communities. Potter Cove (25 de Mayo/King George Island) is one of the most biodiverse …

The short-term biomass dynamics of periphyton communities in running water is characterized
by deep variations. This temporal variability is mainly produced by changes in running …

Local food webs result from a sequence of colonisations and extinctions by species from the
regional pool or metaweb, that is, the assembly process. Assembly is theorised to be a …

Demersal fisheries are one of the top anthropic stressors in marine environments. In the long
term, some species are more vulnerable to fishery impacts than others, which can lead to …

The Beagle Channel at the southernmost tip of South America is an interoceanic passage
connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. It is characterized by intricate coastlines and …
