Genetic variation, predator-prey interactions and food web structure.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 May 2011

Moya-Laraño Jordi

Abstract excerpt

Food webs are networks of species that feed on each other. The role that within-population phenotypic and genetic variation plays in food web structure is largely unknown. Here, I show via simulation how variation in two key traits, growth rates and phenology, by influencing the variability of body sizes present through time, can potentially affect several structural parameters in the direction of enhancing food...
