Animal migrations and resource subsidies influence river ecosystem dynamics
ABS Seminar, Co-hosted with Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Presented by Dr. Amanda Subalusky, Postdoctoral Associate, Yale University Animal migrations can play an important role in moving resources across ecosystem boundaries, and these resource subsidies can strongly influence food web structure and ecosystem function. In the Mara River, East Africa, large animal migrations provide substantial portions of […]
