Global change in the trophic functioning of marine food webs. by Aurore Maureaud, Didier Gascuel, Mathieu Colléter, Maria L D Palomares, Hubert Du Pontavice, Daniel Pauly, William W L Cheung

“…The development of fisheries in the oceans, and other human drivers such as climate warming, have led to changes in species abundance, assemblages, trophic interactions, and ultimately in the functioning of marine food webs. Here, using a trophodynamic approach and global databases of catches and life history traits of marine species, we tested the hypothesis that anthropogenic ecological impacts may have led to changes in the global parameters defining the transfers of biomass within the food web. …”

Interpreting insect behavior through the lens of executive functions by Bartosz Baran, Michał Obidziński, Mateusz Hohol

“…Moreover, superficially flexible behaviors may still result from specialized, domain-specific routines rather than general cognitive control. Nevertheless, when used carefully, the EF perspective provides a structured, functional framework for studying insect cognition, enabling precise comparison across species with well-established concepts.…”
