A look at ecosystems (and perhaps their analogs) as something more than a simple trophic pyramid.

                     networks of various types of ecological interaction. Out of this suite of interactions, predator–prey interactions have received
                     most attention. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/364/1524/1755.abstract">The aim of this paper
                     is to provide new and testable ideas on how to understand and model ecosystems in which many different types of ecological
                     interaction operate simultaneously. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/364/1524/1755.abstract">we propose that food webs are structured among two main axes
                     of organization: a vertical (classic) axis representing trophic position and a new horizontal ‘ecological stoichiometry’ axis
                     representing decreasing palatability of plant parts and detritus for herbivores and detrivores and slower turnover times.
