Who eats whom? New model for marine food webs calculates predator-prey relationships more precisely

Who eats whom? New model for marine food webs calculates predator-prey relationships more precisely

Marine food webs are highly complex. Until now, researchers have been unable to understand exactly how they are affected by climate change, overfishing and other threats. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht have now achieved a breakthrough. They have developed a new computer model that can be used to simulate food webs more accurately than ever before. The work, which has been published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolut…
