Table S8. Chengjiang Shale trophic species groupings
Species that share the same set of consumers and resources are grouped into “trophic species.”
85 Chengjiang Shale food-web taxa (Table S6) fall into 33 “trophic species,” as indicated by .tro
# and delineated by horizontal lines. The 5 original aggregated groups (phytoplankton,
bacterioplankton, suspended organic matter, benthic detritus, and zooplankton) remain as
separate trophic species. 9 of the original species remain as separate trophic species. The
remaining 71 species group into 19 additional trophic species. The number for each taxon within
each trophic species is also given (.web #—see Tables S1, S6), as well as the corresponding
sequential renumbering of the food-web species (seq. #), eliminating numbering gaps due to
species not included in the final food web (Table S4).
