Table A1. Total area of each of the habitat patches types included in food web analyses ("total patch area"), as well as the area of the specific habitats where food web sampling was conducted ("sampled habitat area"). See main text for further description of each patch type. A map of these study location can be found in Bellmore et al. (2013).
