Feeding environment and other traits shape species' roles in marine food webs.

Ecology letters - 1 Jun 2018

Cirtwill Alyssa R, Eklöf Anna

Abstract excerpt

Food webs and meso-scale motifs allow us to understand the structure of ecological communities and define species' roles within them. This species-level perspective on networks permits tests for relationships between species' traits and their patterns of direct and indirect interactions. Such relationships could allow us to predict food-web structure based on more easily obtained trait information. Here, we...
