Schematic illustration of the model groups and 3 background resources used in this study.

Detailed feeding interactions across species are not shown; coloured arrows indicate only the dominant feedings pathways for herbivores (left, from macroalgae), benthivores (middle, from benthos), and planktivores (right, from plankton). All species feed on plankton in earliest life stages (indicated with the large arrow). Predators (#14–17) are shown on the top of the figure, but for other groups, position in the figure does not reflect their trophic level. The image was drawn by Amy Coghlan.
