Food Web Explorer
Explore real, location-specific food webs, build food chains, predict how a change ripples through a web, and test the model against observations from a real event (the 2010–11 Shark Bay marine heatwave or the return of wolves to Yellowstone). Look up recorded feeding interactions in the Global Biotic Interactions database.
