Effect of incorporating trophic level information and different weightings on average proportion of predator species per planning unit in chosen area. Average proportion of predator species for all planning units is indicated by orange line; Average proportion of predator species in chosen areas is shown for each target in runs without trophic information and for each target and weighting in runs with trophic information. Proportion of predator species for each target of runs without trophic information are drawn with thicker, solid lines and over all weightings, although no weighting was performed, to illustrate the difference between runs with trophic information, which are drawn with thinner, dashed lines. Trophic weighting is ratio highest to lowest with 3 being a weighting of 0.3-1, 4 being 0.25-1, 5 being 0.2-1, 6 being 0.15-1, 10 being 0.1-1, 20 being 0.05-1 and 100 being 0.01-1. a indicates significant difference (p <0.001) between scenarios with the same target.
