In the absence of well-resolved food webs that include both information on predators and parasites, body-size has been proposed as the biological mechanism underlying the assumption of a trophic hierarchy in the cascade model and its variants. We sho... Read More about Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships.
