Interaction modifications lead to greater robustness than pairwise non‐trophic effects in food webs

Considerable emphasis has been placed recently on the importance of incorporating non‐trophic effects into our understanding of ecological networks. Interaction modifications are well‐established as generating strong non‐trophic impacts by modulating the strength of interspecific interactions. For simplicity and comparison with direct interactions within a network context, the consequences of interaction modifications have often been described...
