Food web

So trophic structures emerge with many interconnected food chains that end up looking more like webs, really.

And these food webs are also an emergent property of a community, meaning they arise in response to many little actions from members of the community acting all at once.

Community ecology helps us understand how species interact in direct and indirect ways.

It helps us to come to terms with the violent acts like predation, but also see the beauty and mutual relationship between a bee and a flower.
