Food webs: edge lists and species names

Data consists of six food web networks. Four of them are in the form of edge lists (St. Marks, Florida Bay, Cypress dry season, Mangrove wet season), while the other two are in the form of Python scripts where we write the adjacency matrix link by link (Benguela, Coachella). We also provide the species names. In the case of Cypress dry season, we also provide the species biomasses.
