Dynamics of a Food Web Module

Senita Food Web Module:
In its most simplest state with yet unstudied interactions not depicted, the senita food web module is comprised of multiple types and forms of interspecific interactions, including plant-pollinator, plant-copollinator, plant-ant, plant-herbivore, plant-florivore, and host-parasitoid interactions, along with a number of indirect and trait-mediated interactions among them.


Dispersal, Recruitment, Growth, Survival, and Size Structure:
The senita food web module extends to additional types and forms of interspecific interactions as related to plant demography, including plant-seed dispersal interactions, seed-granivore interactions, and seed-nurse plant facilitation. These interactions, along with abiotic variables of temperature and precipitation, can shape the short- and long-term demography of plants in terms of the recruitment, growth, survival, and size structure of their populations.
