Energy flow through marine ecosystems: confronting transfer efficiency
Transfer efficiency is the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs. It is an
emergent, unitless property that is difficult to measure, and responds dynamically to …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Global trends in marine plankton diversity across kingdoms of life
The ocean is home to myriad small planktonic organisms that underpin the functioning of
marine ecosystems. However, their spatial patterns of diversity and the underlying drivers …

Warming impairs trophic transfer efficiency in a long-term field experiment
In ecosystems, the efficiency of energy transfer from resources to consumers determines the
biomass structure of food webs. As a general rule, about 10% of the energy produced in one …
