'Forbidden' links to accompany the Broadstone data set
Description
Networks often contain 'forbidden links', where interactions are not possible
between two taxa due to factors such as large differences in body size,
spatio-temporal mismatches or specialised flower morphology in flower visitation
networks. Broadstone.fl summarises the forbidden links in the
Broadstone food web, estimated from the interactions observed
from a complete year's sampling (Table 3 in Woodward et al. 2005). This
table is illustrative, and should not be considered a definitive list.
Usage
Broadstone.fl
Format
A data frame with 20 columns and seven rows, one row for each of the
seven predator taxa. The first column (Predator) lists the seven taxa,
whilst the remaining 19 columns are the invertebrate taxa in the food web:
each element indicates whether the predator can consume that taxon (1) or
whether the link is 'forbidden' (0).
