Changing rainforest to plantations shifts tropical food webs
Nature, Published online: 03 May 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-00434-9A study provides insights into how energy flows in the food webs that connect soil- and canopy-dwelling organisms in tropical ecosystems with high biodiversity. When rainforest is converted to plantations, food webs are simplified and restructured, leading to profound changes in tropical-ecosystem functioning. (Source: Nature AOP)

A quantum solid made of electrons: observing the elusive Wigner crystal
Nature, Published online: 03 May 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-01211-4In ordinary materials, electrons move too quickly for their negative electric charges to affect their interactions. But at low temperatures and densities, they can be made to crystallize into an exotic type of electron solid — a phenomenon predicted by Eugene Wigner 90 years ago and only now directly observed.
