A new mathematical tool to uncover 'who eats whom' in nature
Understanding "who eats whom" is the key to keeping our oceans alive—and our dinner plates full. However, this invisible network that makes up the food chain can unravel with the pull of just one thread. Overfish one species, and its predators starve. Cut off a tiny prey species, and the entire food...

However, this invisible network that makes up the food chain can unravel with the pull of just one thread. Overfish one species, and its predators starve.
