The Chaparral foodweb is loosely based on the paper:

  • Crooks, Kevin R. and Michael E. Soule (1999) Mesopredator release and avifaunal extinctions in a fragmented system. Nature 400: 563-566.

Dr. Crooks also kindly provided the chaparral photographs.

Species photographs from DesertUSA.com, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Sounds provided by and copyrighted to Naturesongs.com, 1997-2001.

Funding for this project was granted by the Yale Center for Media Initiatives. This game was produced by the Yale Center for Computational Ecology at Yale University.

Foodweb Kerplunk used software developed for the Yale CourseWare Project. This site contains other online simulators which may be of interest.
