Description
The most recent volume of this series, Advances in Ecological Research, demonstrates a captivating knowledge of recent
advances in the analysis of food webs. A food web describes the network of predator-prey interactions within a community. The simplest
description of a food web specifies only who eats whom (a connectance web), with no indication of how much or how often. Chapters in
this book begin with a discussion of the most detailed connectance webs ever compiled, and advance to incorporate information on the
body size and numerical abundance of the species. The results yield new ways of describing food webs and powerful new models for estimating
patterns of energy flow in ecosystems.
Audience
Scientists and academicians studying ecology, evolution, plant biology, physiology, the environment, population biology, and entomology.
Contents
Food webs, body size and species abundance in ecological community description
Quantification and resolution of a complex, size-structured
food web
Estimating relative energy fluxes using the food web, species abundance, and body size
