Identification of unique species in the marine ecosystem based on the weighted trophic field overlap

Based on the trophic field overlap of species in the food webs, we propose using the weighted trophic field overlap (WTO) to determine the uniqueness of species in a topological network by considering the food web structure and the proportions of prey in the diets of predators. This proposed method...
