PLOTFOODWEB makes it easy to produce beautiful 3D or 2D figures of ecological food webs. The only required argument is the adjacency matrix of predator-prey connections. Sizes, colors, trophic levels, and the spatial arrangement can be specified as optional arguments. The submission figure shows three possibilities. In the top-left is the default type. The top-right is high-quality with random arrangement and the size of spheres as a function of the Log of body mass. At the bottom, a biplot where species are arranged according to mass (X-axis) and trophic level (Y-axis).
