Food Webs in Changing Oceans and Seas

Session ID#: 257065

Session Description:
The food web is a major component of ecosystem response to external forcing and biodiversity change. Assessing ecological network organization and dynamics enhances our understanding of the processes underpinning ecosystem functions and services. This session explores the effects of the changing marine environment on the structure and functioning of food webs. We welcome contributions that together showcase a diversity of marine food webs and, for example, investigate how climate change, borealization, anthropogenic pressures, non-indigenous species, habitat loss or fragmentation, MPAs or restoration efforts shape food web structure, functioning and robustness. This session aims to integrate across approaches (large-scale and/or long-term data, mesocosm experiments, and computational approaches) to demonstrate linkages among trophic functioning, ecological resilience and environmental change in marine ecosystems.
