Degradation of fish food webs in the Anthropocene The decrease in body size driven by the selective species turnover is widely altering fish food web topology and function.

How species composition, body size, diet etc. in ~15,000 communities of freshwater and marine fish has changed between 1949 and 2019, "leading to higher predation pressure and increased prey vulnerability".

Benthopelagic Deep-Sea Food Webs Along a Latitudinal Gradient in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean) - Ecosystems Understanding food-web structure is crucial to determine the functioning of ecosystems and sustainably manage resources. The Scotia Sea is an important area for Antarctic krill and toothfish fisheries...

Wolves may be pollinators as well as predators, study suggests | CNN The endangered Ethiopian wolf has been observed licking the flowers of red hot poker plants, and now scientists believe it may play a role in the distinctive plant’s pollination.

Who would have thought that conserving the endangered #Ethiopian #wolf population might also be helping in #pollination!?
