Food Web Complexity
• Winemiller described feeding relations among tropical freshwater fish.
– Represented food webs in various ways:• Only included common species.• Top-predator sink.• Excluded weakest trophic links.

Strong Interactions and Food Web Structure
• Tscharntke studied food webs associated with wetland reeds (Phragmites australis).– Attacked by fly Giraudiella inclusa.• Attacked by 14 species of parasitoid wasps.
– Predator specialization
– Distinguished weak and strong interactions.• Determination of keystone species.

What appears as competition in food webs may not always be…
Is this relationship mutualistic, commensalistic or exploitative?
Direct or indirect?

What explains the greater diversity in the subtropical system?
![Page 15: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Food Web Structure and Species Diversity
• Paine found as number of species in intertidal food webs increased, proportion of the web represented by predators also increased.– According to his hypothesis, higher proportion of
predators produces higher predation pressure on prey populations, in turn promoting higher diversity.• Removal of starfish (top predator) caused decline in
diversity from 15 to 8 species.
![Page 16: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1616
Keystone Species
• If keystone species reduce likelihood of competitive exclusion, their activities would increase the number of species that could coexist in communities.
![Page 17: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Consumers’ Effects on Local Diversity
• Lubchenko proposed to resolve the effect herbivores have on plant diversity, you need to know:– Herbivore food preference.– Competitive relationships between plant species
in the local community.– Variance in feeding preferences and competitive
relationships across environments.
![Page 18: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Consumers’ Effects on Local Diversity

Consumers’ Effects on Local Diversity
• Lubchenko studied influence of intertidal snail (Littorina littorea) on structure of an algal community. – Snails fed on green (Enteromorpha spp.) and red
(Chondrus crispus) algae.• Under normal conditions, Enteromorpha out-competes
Chondrus in tide pools, and Littornia prefers Enteromorpha.– In the absence of snails, Chondrus is competitively displaced.
![Page 20: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2020
Consumers’ Effects on Local Diversity
• When snails are present in high densities, Littorina grazes down Enteromorpha, releasing Chondrus from competition.– Green crabs (Carcinus maenus) prey on young
snails, preventing juveniles from colonizing tide pools.
– Populations of Carcinus are controlled by seagulls.
![Page 21: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2121
Consumers’ Effects on Local Diversity
– Low snail density - Enteromorpha dominates tide pool.
– Medium snail density - Competitive exclusion eliminated, and algal diversity increased.
– High snail density - Feeding requirements are high enough that snails eat preferred algae and less-preferred algae.• Algal diversity decreased.

Keystone Species: Summation
• Power : Keystone species exert strong effects on their community structure, despite low biomass.
![Page 26: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Exotic Predators
• Exotic species have dramatic impacts on communities because they were outside the evolutionary experience of local prey populations.– Nile Perch (Lates nilotica) exotic fish predator in
Lake Victoria.• Fish fauna dramatically reduced.
![Page 27: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Exotic Predators
• Kaufman pointed out changes in Lake Victoria fish community coincide with other ecosystem changes.– Dissolved oxygen concentrations significantly
decreased.– Cultural eutrophication.

Mutulaistic Keystone Species
• Cleaner fish in Red Sea coral reef communities…
![Page 31: 11 Food Webs Chapter 17. 22 Figure 17_01 33 Food Webs Chapter 17.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e6b5503460f94b68e11/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Seed Dispersal Mutualists as Keystone Species
• Christian observed native ants disperse 30% of shrubland seeds in fynbos of South Africa.– Seed-dispersing ants bury seeds in sites safe from
predators and fire.• Argentine ants have displaced many native ant species that
disperse large seeds.– Substantial reductions in seedling recruitment by plants producing
large seeds.

Homo sapiens as Keystone Species
23 – 60 million animals killed yearly in Brazilian Amazon…Reducing bird and mammal biomass in some areas by 70-90%.
