In addition to overall enrollment being at a record level, the universityâs main-campus enrollment is at an all-time high of 53,672, which informal tabulations also indicate is the most for any single campus in Texas. Texas A&Mâs main campus enrollment was 50,227 last fall.
The trophic level is a measure of the position of an organism in a food web, starting at level 1 with primary producers, such as phytoplankton and seaweed, then moving through the primary consumers at level 2 that eat the primary producers to the secondary consumers at level 3 that eat the primary consumers, and so on.
Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
