Ecology: How mesopredators run with the big dogs

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Food webs are indispensable maps of community organization, but most are crudely drawn — an inconvenient truth that ecologists must confront. A new DNA metabarcoding study quantifies predator–prey interactions and ecological-network structure with long-overdue precision, supplying insight into how large and small carnivores coexist.
