Taxonomic information and the diet matrix for fish species-size-classes (rows)
and their prey (columns) used to produce feeding guilds via cluster analysis
for Thompson et al. (2020) ‘A feeding guild indicator to assess environmental
change impacts on marine ecosystem structure and functioning’. Journal of
Applied Ecology. The purpose of this study was to propose a food web indicator
which has been explicitly called for to inform policy via food web status
assessment as part of the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive
and the indicator toolkit supporting The Convention for the Protection of the
Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (the ‘OSPAR Convention').
