39、each one eats With such models， scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs Most food webs， for instance， consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones When a predator （掠食动物）always eats huge numbers of a single prey （猎物），the two species are strongly linked； when a
40、 predator lives on various species， they are weakly linked Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term If a predator can eat several species， it can survive the extinction （灭绝）of one of them And if a predator can move on to another species
