New study examines the flow of ecological energy across old-growth forests, logged forests and oil palm. The study surveys mammal and bird species across these landscapes to calculate food energetic ...

A recent study quantifies the impact of biodiversity loss on ecological functions by tracking energy flows within them. It found that declines in birds and small mammals have led to a significant ...

In advancing the understanding of ecological systems, tools and methodologies borrowed from physics offer powerful interpretative framework to unravel the complexity of the interactions between ...
