| Description: |
Body mass has been shown to scale negatively with abundance in a wide range of ecosystems. It is believed that this relationship has important consequences for the distribution and maintenance of energy in natural communities. Some studies have shown that the relationship between body mass and abundance may be robust to major food web perturbations. Here, scientists use data from a long-term experimental food web manipulation to examine this issue in a semi-natural environment. [Source: Oikos]
