Lopped Off "Removal of top predators trickles through the food web" by Nadia Drake November 5th, 2011; Vol.180 #10 (p. 26); excerpt ... <redact excessive quotes> 97.87.29.188 ( talk) 23:48, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
The findings suggest that the effects can cross boundaries between land and sea, alter entire landscapes and even touch the smallest microorganisms and the Earth’s chemical cycles. Beyond documenting such effects, scientists are working with conservation groups to reverse the changes brought by ecosystem decapitation. All agree that progress will be difficult as long as habitats continue shrinking and people continue yanking animals from the wild.
In Kenya’s Laikipia district, Darcy Ogada says, vulture populations have dropped by 60 to 70 percent in the last decade or so. In 2010, Ogada published a study in the Journal of Raptor Research describing a 48 percent decline in just one year. ... In PLoS ONE in June, Stuart Sandin’s team described the effects of predator scarcity on prey populations swimming in Kiritimati waters: Most prey species studied grew bigger and lived longer, while remaining big predators were smaller than on untouched Palmyra Atoll. The team also noticed that islands with big fish and big predators intact had healthier corals and less algae — a crucial player in the cultivation of microbe-laden waters.
I replace the image "Food web" with a new one which is more readable and understandable. The previous one wasn't easy to understand because of the complexity of icons and links between animals. With this new image I think the concept of food web could be immediately understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob ros ( talk • contribs) 16:39, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
