Figure 3. Correlation between complexity parameters in real food webs.

Figure 3

(a) σ is the s.d. of interaction strengths, S the number of species and C the connectance. The product Inline graphic was negatively correlated to σ (Spearman's rank correlation (P<10−13, r=−0.64). (b) Inline graphic is the correlation between pairwise interactions. The product Inline graphic was positively correlated to ρ (P=0.02, r=0.22).
