A parasite-inclusive food web for the California rocky intertidal zone

We present a highly resolved, species-rich food web, including parasitic interactions, for the California rocky intertidal zone. The food web, which is a meta-web inclusive of all rocky intertidal taxa in California, is comprised of 1994 nodes, representing 1901 taxa, and 15,601 links that illustrate trophic interactions between nodes. While only 670 links represent parasitic interactions, we have assembled possibly the most speciose parasite-inclusive food web ever published. The inclusion of all nodes and links are justified using multiple lines of evidence which are built into the dataset. In addition, metadata, including trophic strategy, taxonomic information, habitat, and other ecological attributes allow the data user to filter the food web to their specifications. The food web is a powerful and flexible tool for researchers with questions about large network properties, ecological dynamics of rocky shores, and the role of parasites in ecosystems. Our food web can be used to pred..., , , This README.txt file was generated on 2024-06-16 by Z. Zilz ## **GENERAL INFORMATION** 1\.

We hope these revisions will result in a publication in the journal Nature Scientific Data in the near future. The code has been updated for usability and clarity per peer reviewers suggestions. ,本研究构建了一套高分辨率、物种类群丰富的加利福尼亚岩潮间带食物网，其中包含寄生性营养相互作用。 该食物网为覆盖加利福尼亚州所有岩潮间带分类群的元食物网（meta-web），包含1994个节点（对应1901个物种类群）以及15601条表征节点间营养相互作用的连接。尽管其中仅670条连接代表寄生相互作用，但本数据集构建的包含寄生关系的食物网，可能是迄今已发表的物种最丰富的同类研究。所有节点与连接的纳入均基于多重证据支撑，且相关证据已整合至本数据集内。此外，数据集附带的元数据涵盖营养策略、分类学信息、生境类型及其他生态属性，使用者可根据自身研究需求对食物网进行筛选。该食物网可为研究人员开展大型网络属性、岩岸生态动态以及寄生物在生态系统中的作用等相关研究提供功能强大且灵活易用的工具。本食物网可用于……，，，本README.txt文件由Z.
