Aims & Scope

The journal Food Webs publishes original research articles, focused reviews and short communication papers examining the species interactions that structure ecological communities.

This interdisciplinary journal encompasses both experimental and theoretical research that seeks a mechanistic understanding of the influence of these interactions on the composition of communities and functioning of ecosystems.

As such, articles focus on a multitude of areas within the area of food web biology.

These include, but are not limited to, the following: • simple trophic relationships and cascading effects between levels of a community • multi-species interactions and the structuring of populations and communities • effect of competition and co-existence of species in defining trophic relationships • effect of perturbation on species and interaction pathways • quantifying direct and indirect effects on populations • stability and productivity of food webs • empirical and theoretical assessment of food web structure and complexity • models explaining food web structure and trophic relationships.
