"The study of food webs is a very important topic in order to understand the dynamics and stability of communities. We studied the food webs structure and energy balance of some tide pools from a rocky shore of Mar del Plata (Argentina). Food webs were drawn, and connectivity, proportion of different trophic species, and the link-richness regression slope were determined. Photosynthesis and respiration rates of several species were also measured. All the topological measures were calculated with and without sediments/detritus as potential energy sources. The proportion of basal species and the connectivity were greater when detritus were included; proportion of intermediate species lowed significantly with detritus inclusion.
A journal is a periodical publication intended to further progress of science, usually by reporting new research. Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals publish articles, reviews, editorials, short communications, letters, and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields. Journals contain articles that peer reviewed, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity. Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record
