Networking in biology brings better understanding, inspires students

Description

An international team of marine ecologists has studied the foodweb dynamics and health of eelgrass ecosystems on a global scale. The results show that there is generality in ecology regardless of where the experiments are performed, but also that biologists need to work together in solving large-scale, complex questions in order to obtain cutting edge results. Two professors from Groningen played a part in the study, which was published recently in the prestigious journal Ecology Letters.
