Abstract

Food webs inform about both direct trophic interactions (predation and food supply) and implicitly involved, indirect ones (e. g. exploitative competition). Traditionally, direct links between species are considered stronger and more important. However, as a body of experimental results suggests, indirect links may well be able to surpass their effects. In this paper, after shortly summarizing an interesting case study, I propose a simple structural approach to estimate the role of indirect vs. direct effects
