Food web structure and community composition: a comparison across space and time in the North Sea

Comparing the spatio–temporal dynamics of community composition and food web structure raises methodological challenges due to the high dimensionality and the complex- ity of the data. [...] The clusters were named using the letter (Csárdi and Nepusz 2006), the tensor decomposition was of the Box, in which organisms from the respective cluster calculated with the package PTAk ver. [...] Interestingly, these similar was also observed in the clustering of species dynamics, with and simultaneous changes were driven by different species the absence of the phylum Cnidaria and the large proportion in the two boxes (Supporting information). [...] The scores of (a) years The within-location temporal analyses revealed synchronous and (b) food web metrics on the first principal component of the dynamics between community composition and food web within-Box co-inertia analyses are represented for the 6 Boxes (in structure at the local scale.
