Number of samples

Figure A3 Yield-effort curves for the 26 size classes in Broadstone Stream contain-
ing individual predators or prey. Red (dark) curves show the cumulative out-degree
(vulnerability) and blue (light) curves show the cumulative in-degree (generality)
as functions of the number of prey or predator individuals sampled within a size
class, respectively. Individuals are sampled in order of increasing size within their
size class. The dashed lines denote the theoretical maximum in- or out-degree for a
size class, assuming size classes only feed on size classes smaller or equal to itself in
size.
