The hypothesis of this article.
Implicit, a sub-linear relationship between prey and predator biomasses.
200
The 3 ecosystem types for this study.
Freshwater (streams)
Marine (rocky pools)
Terrestrial (soils)

Provide an example of predator biomass and prey biomass in any given territory.
Example: Predators: lions, hyena, alligators
Prey: buffalo, antelope, deer
300
The reason why predator generality and vulnerability were not included in the statistical models.
They were too highly correlated.

Based on class discussion, this word could and should be replaced with "limitations"

This literature is written and known as a _________ journal article
Primary
400
These type of consumers increase their energy intake more quickly because of their ability to use several resources.
Omnivores
400
PPmR increased with predator omnivory in this ecosystem.
Terrestrial or Soils

Of the 3 questions posed for this research, this one remained unknown.
Does the predator and prey biomass scale with and across complex food webs have a general power-law that holds across levels of biological organization.
400
Example or definition of density-dependent.
Any biological factor that has affects the population of living things.

The audience this article is reaching out to.
General Public
Ecologists, field researchers

Explanation of the difference between Within web scales and Across web scales
Within: Focus is more on the individual predator and their web chain.
Across: Focus is on group of predators and their multiple sources of energy.
500
In fig. 5, it showed that prey biomass were mainly driven by changes in this.
prey density
500
Explanation of the 3/4 power scaling relationship.
3-fold increase in predator biomass, there is a 5-fold increase in prey biomass.
500
The difference between biomass and body mass
Biomass: Total mass or weight of organisms in an area.
Body Mass: Individual weight
