Exploring paleo food-webs in the European Early and Middle Pleistocene: A network analysis

摘要

Food webs are networks of feeding (trophic) interactions among species. As any other network approach, research on food webs focuses its analysis on the structure of direct and indirect interactions among diverse species, rather than looking at the particularities of certain taxa. In recent times, scholars have collected an impressive amount of empirical food-web data to study present day terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
