Q4.17. Imagine again this hypothetical community with a single predator, two herbivores, and four primary producers. Assume the following: (1) The predator is a pure carnivore, feeding on both herbivore species but no plants. (2) Each herbivore species specializes on a single plant species. (This means some plants are not consumed.) (3) The plant species do not feed on other organisms. (4) There is no cannibalism. Use this information to calculate the connectance of the system. (Hint: To answer this, you first need to calculate the number of links in this community, which is most easily done if you sketch the food web.)
