Efficiency of biomass transfer and the stability of model food-webs
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Low efficiency of biomass transfer enhanced stability in some types of web, but not in others, and increasing connectance decreased the probability of webstability—the opposite of De Angelis's prediction.
