Ecological food web
Ecological food web, computer artwork. This model represents the extinct ecosystem of the Messel pit, Germany. Fossil animal and plant life is represented by the coloured nodes. Red nodes are lowest trophic level organisms such as plants and detritus, orange represents intermediate species and yellow represents top level species and primary predators. Relationships between organisms are shown by the connecting lines. Thick lines connect to predator species and thin lines connect to prey. Food webs are used by biologists to study species interaction. The Messel pit was formed 50 million years ago and contains a large number of fossils.

Discover the intricacies of the natural world with our Media Storehouse Ecological Food Web Poster Prints. Featuring an awe-inspiring image from Science Photo Library, this poster showcases a computer-generated representation of the extinct ecosystem of the Messel pit in Germany. The vibrant colors of the nodes depict the fossilized animal and plant life that once thrived in this ancient ecosystem, providing a fascinating glimpse into the intricate web of life that once existed. Bring this educational and visually stunning piece into your home or classroom to inspire curiosity and wonder about the complex relationships between organisms in their environments.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 59.4cm x 35.6cm (23.4" x 14")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate and visually stunning representation of the ecological food web in the extinct ecosystem of the Messel pit, Germany. Created by Neo Martinez from the Pacific Ecoinformatics and Computational Ecology Lab in the USA, this computer artwork brings to life the fossil animal and plant life that once thrived in this prehistoric landscape. The colored nodes within this model depict different trophic levels, with red nodes representing plants and detritus at the lowest level, orange nodes representing intermediate species, and yellow nodes symbolizing top-level species and primary predators. The connecting lines between organisms illustrate their relationships, with thick lines indicating predator-prey connections. Food webs like these are invaluable tools for biologists studying species interactions. They provide a comprehensive understanding of how energy flows through an ecosystem and shed light on complex ecological dynamics. The Messel pit itself is a treasure trove of fossils dating back 50 million years. This image not only captures its scientific significance but also highlights the advancements made in technology, biology, paleontology, research methodologies, data visualization techniques used to study such ecosystems. With its combination of artistry and scientific accuracy, this computer-generated illustration serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our ongoing quest to unravel Earth's ancient mysteries.
