Effects of food web construction by evolution or immigration
Craig R. Powell, Alan J. McKane
We present results contrasting food webs constructed using the same model where the source of species was either evolution or immigration from a previously evolved species pool. Th…
Predicting the species abundance distribution using a model food web
Craig R. Powell, Alan J. McKane
A large number of models of the species abundance distribution (SAD) have been proposed, many of which are generically similar to the log-normal distribution, from which they are o…
Topological structure and interaction strengths in model food webs
Christopher Quince, Paul Higgs, Alan McKane
We report the results of carrying out a large number of simulations on a coevolutionary model of multispecies communities. A wide range of parameter values were investigated which…
Deleting species from model food webs
Christopher Quince, Paul Higgs, Alan McKane
We use food webs generated by a model to investigate the effects of deleting species on other species in the web and on the web as a whole. The model incorporates a realistic popul…
The impact of non-linear functional responses on the long-term evolution of food web structure
Barbara Drossel, Alan McKane, Christopher Quince
We investigate the long-term web structure emerging in evolutionary food web models when different types of functional responses are used. We find that large and complex webs with…
