Supporting information: Size, foraging and food web structure
The DBM requires the body size of each species and four allometries; those of energetic content of individuals of each species, density of each species, the attack rate of each consumer on each resource species, and the handling time of each consumer on each resource species. We assumed that energet...

The DBM requires the body size of each species and four allometries; those of energetic content of individuals of each species, density of each species, the attack rate of each consumer on each resource species, and the handling time of each consumer on each resource species. We assumed that energetic content is linearly related with body mass and a common allometric scaling of density and body mass. We searched the literature for empirically motivated and parameterised allometries of handling time and attack rate and, due to its importance for food web structure, we focused on allometry of handling times.
