Description
Iara Diamela Rodriguez and Leonardo Ariel Saravia weigh the strength of links in an Antarctic food web in this twenty twenty-four study. Warming has shifted the species mix around the West Antarctic Peninsula in recent decades. Knowing which species hold the web together helps judge how the system copes with change.
The pair studied Potter Cove, off the South Shetland Islands. They estimated how strongly each species affects the ones it eats or feeds, then removed species one by one on a computer to see how stability and web break-up changed. Strong links were unevenly spread. The work names the heavyweight species whose loss would shake the cove most.
