Construction of summary food web and parameter sign constraints. a Schematic illustration of a three-step procedure of generating symbolic constraints of interactions from prior knowledge (see “Methods” for details). b Reconstructed summary food web for the top 10 abundant fish species in the La Grange pool. Point arrows represent positive effects and blunt arrows represent negative effects. The observed predator–prey relationships in other water systems are indicated by black arrows, including BKCP-BLGL [42], CNCF-BLGL [43], CNCF-ERSN [31], CNCF-GZSD [31], FWDM-GZSD [44], WTBS-BKCP [45], WTBS-BLGL [5], WTBS-FWDM [45], WTBS-ERSN [46], WTBS-GZSD [46], WTBS-CARP [35] (the former species is a predator and the latter species is a prey)
