Mean confidence scores for species’ growth and interactions in the La Grange (LG) pool and the Pool 26. a Clustering of the mean confidence scores estimated from the LG data. The numbers in the square matrix made of the 9 rows and the first 9 columns are the mean confidence scores of pairwise interaction coefficients and indicate the likelihood that fish species on the column impacts fish species on the row. The numbers in the last column are the mean confidence scores of intrinsic growth rates and indicate the likelihood that population of each fish species grows (prey) or declines (predators) in the absence of the others. b Refinement of the predictions in a by combining mean confidence scores estimated from both the LG and the Pool 26 data. Only the growth of emerald shiner and its positive impact on channel catfish have confidence scores at least 70% at both sites
