Parasites reduce food web robustness because they are sensitive to secondary extinction as illustrated by an invasive estuarine snail
A robust food web is one in which few secondary extinctions occur after removing species. We investigated how parasites affected the robustness of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh food web by conducting random species removals and a hypothetical, but plausible, species invasion. Parasites were much more l...
