Global change in the trophic functioning of marine food webs. by Aurore Maureaud, Didier Gascuel, Mathieu Colléter, Maria L D Palomares, Hubert Du Pontavice, Daniel Pauly, William W L Cheung

“…The development of fisheries in the oceans, and other human drivers such as climate warming, have led to changes in species abundance, assemblages, trophic interactions, and ultimately in the functioning of marine food webs. Here, using a trophodynamic approach and global databases of catches and life history traits of marine species, we tested the hypothesis that anthropogenic ecological impacts may have led to changes in the global parameters defining the transfers of biomass within the food web. …”

Structure function in photoplethysmographic signal dynamics for physiological assessment by Javier de Pedro-Carracedo, David Fuentes-Jimenez, María Fernanda Cabrera-Umpiérrez, Ana Pilar González-Marcos

“…Abstract Physiological systems are inherently complex, driven by non-linear interactions among various subsystems that govern their function across diverse spatiotemporal scales. Understanding this interconnectedness is crucial; in this sense, the structure function enables us to dissect the dynamic intricacies of biological responses. …”
