Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web? (1996)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Beaney, S., & Raffaelli, D. (1996). Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?. Oikos, 76(2), 284. doi:10.2307/3546201

At least ten different static patterns have been suggested by the analysis of food webs. However, the existence of many of these patterns has been questioned in recent years. One pattern that has remained immune from such criticism is intervality. In... Read More about Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?.
