Below is a link to fascinating presentation by Dr. Eric Sanderson (Wildlife Conservation Society), author of Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City. Abrams, New York (among numerous other works). In the presentation, Dr. Sanderson discusses food webs, but also introduces a new concept entitled Muir webs, which incorporate all dependencies in a system (abiotic and biotic), not just feeding relationships. He also discusses methods for describing and predicting the historical biota of NYC.
