Description:The matrix breaks down into 4 subwebs: predator-prey, parasite-host, predator-parasite and parasite-parasite. Links are binary (presence or absence of interspecific interactions), but coded by type of trophic interaction and certainty. The links are from a combination of published reports, direct observations, and logical, but presumed interactions. A key is included as a text box in the matrix. The web is being updated regularly as new information is obtained.
