食物网

food web───[生态]食物网，食物链；食物循环

food wraps───保鲜膜；食品包装

food aids───粮食援助

food wrap───保鲜膜；食品包装

foodies───n.美食家（foodie的复数）

foodless───缺乏食品的

foodsheds───生育率

That's the theme of Gardner, Ashby, May and my early work on food webs.───这是加德纳和阿什比，迈和我对食物网早期研究的主题。

Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.───数学模型也揭示了食物网可能是不稳定的，顶级肉食性动物的微小改变会对整个生态系统产生巨大影响。

Scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs.───科学家们已经发现了在食物网中起作用的一些关键原理。

But new research suggests that a simple ecological theory may explain at least one piece of the puzzle: the effect on marine food webs.───但是最近的研究表明，一个简单的生态理论可以至少解释整个谜团中的一个谜：全球变暖对海洋食物网的影响之谜。

Biologists finally got their hands on computers in the late 1960s and began to model kinetic ecologies and food webs on silicon networks.───生物学家最终在20世纪60年代后期从计算机上获得帮助，开始在网络上建立动态生态模型和食物网。

Areas of its research include organic nitrogen, ammonia concentrations, aquatic food webs, and global nitrogen budget.───其研究领域包括有机氮、氨浓度、水生食物网以及全球氮收支等。

On a larger scale, food webs and ecosystems can be represented as networks of species.───在更大的尺度上，食物链与生态系统则相当于物种所构成的网络。

This suggests to O'Connor and her colleagues that nutrient-poor food webs may be relatively resilient to global warming.───在奥康纳及同事看来，该情况表明营养成分贫乏的食物网对全球变暖的反应比较平稳。

If reshaping food webs marginalises the pteropods, the salmon will have to adapt or die.───如果重新形成的食物网里翼足类动物数量锐减，粉鲑将必须适应，否则就会饿死。

One approach the ecologists favored was building redundancy of pathways into the food webs.

Make redundant food webs. Increase diversity gradually.

This situation impeded the understandings of the carbon and energy flow and ecological interactions among micro-, meio- and macrobenthos within the entire marine food webs.

The creatures are wired together in various degrees of connectance by food webs and by smells and vision.

The release of non-native fish is controversial, because big predators like blue catfish almost certainly alter food webs and species diversity in areas where they are introduced.

Despite their differences, the two oceans support basically similar food webs, with high seasonal productivity from small overwintering standing crops.
