Although it was first published twenty years ago, Stuart Pimm's Food Weds remains the clearest introduction yet to the study of food webs, diagrams depicting which species interact-in other words, who eats whom. Reviewing various empirical evidence, Pimm shows that even the most complex food webs follow certain patterns, and that those patterns are shaped by a limited number of biological processes—processes he provides mathematical tools for unraveling (and conrete examples of those tools' application). This edition adds a new foreword covering recent developments in the study of food webs and demonstrating their continuing importance to conservation biology, particularly attemts to predict which communities are most culnerable to disturbance.
