Global change in the trophic functioning of marine food webs
The development of fisheries in the oceans, and other human drivers such as climate warming, have led to changes in species abundance, assemblages, trophic interactions, and ultimately in the functioning of marine food webs. Here, using a trophodynamic approach and global databases of catches and life history traits of marine species, we tested the hypothesis that anthropogenic ecological impac...
متن کاملMarine Plankton Food Webs and Climate Change
• Some plankton, such as diatoms, grow better at cooler temperatures. Warming may cause other, less palatable, species to replace them, depriving zooplankton and menhaden of their primary food source. • Because phytoplankton are linked to freshwater and nutrient inputs, draught will likely decrease their abundance. Also, when nutrients are reduced, smaller phytoplankton replace diatoms, and the...
متن کاملEffects of climate-driven primary production change on marine food webs: implications for fisheries and conservation
Climate change is altering the rate and distribution of primary production in the world’s oceans. Primary production is critical to maintaining biodiversity and supporting fishery catches, but predicting the response of populations to primary production change is complicated by predation and competition interactions. We simulated the effects of change in primary production on diverse marine eco...
متن کاملMercury, Food Webs, and Marine Mammals: Implications of Diet and Climate Change for Human Health
We modeled the flow of methyl mercury, a toxic global pollutant, in the Faroe Islands marine ecosystem and compared average human methyl mercury exposure from consumption of pilot whale meat and fish (cod, Gadus morhua) with current tolerable weekly intake (TWI) levels. Under present conditions and climate change scenarios, methyl mercury increased in the ecosystem, translating into increased h...
متن کاملMarine viruses and global climate change.
Sea-surface warming, sea-ice melting and related freshening, changes in circulation and mixing regimes, and ocean acidification induced by the present climate changes are modifying marine ecosystem structure and function and have the potential to alter the cycling of carbon and nutrients in surface oceans. Changing climate has direct and indirect consequences on marine viruses, including cascad...
