Potential extinction cascades in a desert ecosystem: Linking food web interactions to community viability

Abstract Desert communities are threatened with species loss due to climate change, and their resistance to such losses is unknown. We constructed a food web of the Mojave Desert terrestrial community (300 nodes, 4080 edges) to empirically examine the potential cascading effects of bird extinctions...
