An international science team has made significant strides in understanding river flow dynamics. The findings leverage isotope hydrology techniques such as measuring stable isotopes in water ...

“Virovores” — organisms that survive and multiply by eating viruses — might influence the flow of energy through ecosystems.

Surprisingly, despite the increase in “brown” energy in food webs, the findings showed that animals are now mainly consuming recently fixed carbon rather than ancient carbon from thawing permafrost.
