Linked from

The 79 pages that link to Food web, each with the reason it gives.

• PredationNarrower topic: Predation forms links through which energy moves between species.

• Trophic cascadeNarrower topic: The network’s links determine how far and in what direction a cascade spreads.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction eventNarrower topic: Disrupted primary production could cascade through marine and terrestrial food webs.

• PhotosynthesisRelated: Photosynthetic organisms provide organic matter that supports most food webs.

• Biological pest controlNarrower topic: Food-web relationships determine how control agents affect pests and other species.

• Benthic zoneNarrower topic: Benthic food webs connect sediment microbes, bottom animals, and predators.

• ForagingNarrower topic: Food webs place each forager within the wider transfer of energy among species.

• InsectRelated: Insects serve as prey, predators, herbivores, and decomposers in many food webs.

• Keystone speciesNarrower topic: Keystone effects depend on a species’ position and connections within the wider network.

• OmnivoryRelated: Omnivores connect plant-based and animal-based pathways in food webs.

• Plastic pollutionRelated: Plastic particles and associated chemicals can move among organisms through feeding, with consequences that depend on context.

• InsectivoryRelated: Insectivores connect arthropod populations to predators and other consumers.

• Trophic levelNarrower topic: Organisms can occupy different trophic positions across its interconnected pathways.

• EcologyRelated: It maps how energy and matter pass through interacting species.

• Primary productionRelated: Primary production supplies the organic energy that supports food webs.

• BiomagnificationNarrower topic: Real exposure pathways branch across food webs rather than following a single chain.

• CarnivoryNarrower topic: Carnivores occupy consumer positions connected to prey and other predators.

• Ecosystem-based fisheries managementNarrower topic: Predator–prey links can make changes to one fishery affect other species.

• Harmful algal bloomRelated: Bloom toxins and biomass shifts can propagate through aquatic food webs.

• Persistent organic pollutantRelated: Food-web transfers help explain how persistent chemicals move from contaminated environments into predators.

• EcosystemRelated: Food webs show how energy and nutrients move among an ecosystem’s organisms.

• Chicxulub craterNarrower topic: The impact disrupted food webs by reducing sunlight and collapsing primary production.

• AnimalRelated: Animals occupy consumer roles that link producers, prey, and predators.

• Fish stockingRelated: New fish can consume native species or compete with them for prey.

• OmnivoreNarrower topic: An omnivore can connect plant-based and animal-based pathways in the same food web.

• CarnivoreNarrower topic: Carnivores occupy consumer positions linked to prey and other food sources.

• KleptoparasitismRelated: Theft redirects energy among consumers without necessarily changing who captured the food.

• Mercury (element)Narrower topic: Food-web structure shapes how sediment mercury reaches organisms at higher trophic levels.

• PiscivoryRelated: Piscivores connect fish populations to their predators and other food-web pathways.

• AntRelated: Ants act as predators, prey, scavengers, and seed dispersers within food webs.

• Insect declineRelated: Insects are prey and consumers, so population changes can propagate through ecological networks.

• Aquatic insectRelated: Aquatic insects consume algae and detritus, then feed fish and terrestrial predators.

• Impact winterNarrower topic: Declining primary productivity can propagate through food webs to cause widespread losses.

• Apex predatorNarrower topic: Apex status describes a position within this network, not a fixed rank across all ecosystems.

• Marine plastic pollutionNarrower topic: Plastic ingestion and associated chemicals can affect organisms at multiple trophic levels.

• MothNarrower topic: Moths and their larvae serve as prey for birds, bats, and other animals.

• DecomposerNarrower topic: Decomposers connect dead matter and waste to nutrient flows across the web.

• EntomologyRelated: Insects connect plants, predators, parasites, and decomposers in food webs.

• Freshwater habitatRelated: Energy and nutrients pass among producers, consumers, and decomposers in freshwater.

• ScavengerNarrower topic: Scavengers connect dead organisms to consumers and decomposers in food webs.

• Food chainCompared with: Most organisms eat multiple species, so real feeding relations branch beyond one chain.

• HexapodaRelated: Hexapods serve as predators, herbivores, parasites, and prey in terrestrial food webs.

• InsectaNarrower topic: Insects connect plants, predators, parasites, and decomposers in many food webs.

• PlantRelated: Plant production supplies energy to herbivores and indirectly to higher consumers.

• Benthic feedingRelated: Benthic feeding links bottom-dwelling consumers to prey and organic matter.

• BiosphereRelated: Food webs transfer energy and nutrients through biospheric communities.

• Deciduous treeRelated: Leaf fall supplies detritus that supports decomposers and organisms that feed on them.

• Food cachingRelated: Caching and cache theft redistribute resources among competitors and affect seed-eating relationships.

• Marine ecologyRelated: Food webs trace how energy and nutrients move among marine species.

• Trophic ecologyRelated: Food webs map the interconnected feeding relationships trophic ecology investigates.
