Apparent competition leaves no detectable imprint on patterns of community composition: observations from a natural experiment

Abstract

4. Overall, this case study fails to add evidence to previous suggestions that apparent competition may constitute a major force in structuring natural communities. However, it suggests that dynamics should not be inferred from static food web structure alone, but rather that predictions based on structure should be verified by empirical observations of realised population dynamics.
