Reposted by Jason StockwellEden Forbes @eforbes.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Given the prevalence of EHC species in aquatic systems (e.g., macrophytes, corals, mussels), our models demonstrate the importance of maintaining EHC species in aquatic systems for stable food webs. 6/6 021
Reposted by Jason StockwellEden Forbes @eforbes.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Furthermore, we examined the exact stabilizing mechanisms by dissecting feedback loops underlying the stability of model equilibria. Generally, the self-effect of the base resource (in this case, invertebrates) was the primary driver of stability changes for the entire community. 5/N 111
Reposted by Jason StockwellEden Forbes @eforbes.bsky.social · 14/05/2026While habitat complexity that inhibits predation efficiency alone is somewhat stabilizing (a known result), edible habitat complexity conferred greater stability across a wide variety of potential functions relating habitat complexity to predation risk. 4/N 111
Reposted by Jason StockwellEden Forbes @eforbes.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Habitat complexity (HC) plays a critical role in trophic interactions, population dynamics, and food web stability. However, little theory exists to describe edible habitat complexity (EHC), where a species is both consumed and confers habitat complexity for other species. 2/N 121
