   Energy transfer between trophic levels is inherently inefficient, governed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Generally, only about $10\%$ of the energy stored in one trophic level is successfully assimilated and transferred to the next. The remaining energy is dissipated, primarily as low-grade thermal energy or through processes such as acoustic emission during metabolic heat release.
   The mathematical description of trophic energy t…
