“…Food web ecology has focused on the trophic relationships between species within discrete communities, with the goal of inferring the underlying processes acting upon them, such as the relationship between species diversity and food web structure, community assembly processes and even robustness of those communities to species extinctions (Montoya, Pimm, & Solé, ). However, since the pioneering work of Kitching () on latitudinal gradients of aquatic food web structure, food web ecology has shifted from finding food web structural generalities across distinct communities to searching for large‐scale spatial distribution of ecological networks, such as latitudinal gradients, and relationships with climate and resource availability (Kortsch, Primicerio, Fossheim, Dolgov, & Aschan, ; Montoya & Galiana, ; Pellissier et al, ; Poisot, Guéveneux‐Julien, Fortin, Gravel, & Legendre, ; Post, ; Roslin et al, ; Wood, Russell, Hanson, Williams, & Dunne, ).…”
