Motivated by extensivefieldsurveysandliteratureinformation,weanalyzedthestructuralfeaturesoffoodwebsassociatedwithZostera marina across 16 study sites in 3 provinces in Atlantic Canada. Our goals were to (i) quantify differences in food-web structure across local and regional scales and human impacts, (ii) assess the robustness of seagrass webs to simulated species loss, and (iii) compare food-web structure in temperate Atlantic seagrass beds with those of other aquatic ecosystems.Weconstructedindividualfoodwebsforeachstudysiteandcumulativewebsforeachprovinceandtheentire regionbasedonpresence/absenceofspecies,andcalculated16structuralpropertiesforeachweb.Ourresultsindicatethat food-web structure was similar among low impact sites across regions. With increasing human impacts associated with eutrophication, however,food-web structure showevidenceof degradation asindicated by fewer trophic groups,lower maximumtrophiclevelofthehighesttoppredator,fewertrophiclinksconnectingtoptobasalspecies,higherfractionsof herbivores and intermediate consumers, andhigher number of prey per species.
