[x] Abstract: Maybe put in example like feeding link or host-parasite? keeps the abstract a bit simpler. After trophic interactions.
[x] Abstract: Could finish on a more punchy note to keep the reader going. Its cool that you’ve done this and how, but why is it so important? what would happen if we just ignored the differences between local and metaweb? Does it matter?
[x] Line 3: give an example here as i am unsure what you mean… if you mean like the examples below but want a new slightly different one you could use nocturnal and diurnal species not interacting as they are in the same space but not at the same time? or is it something else?
[x] Line 44: This is what i meant at the end of the abstract, a couple of cool examples of what it could be used for/why it makes them better etc.
[x] Line 95: interpreted incorrectly/wrongly as local interactions.
[x] Line 192 -193: I really like the way this is explained, but wondered if there is a way of putting in exactly how Omega can represent all eco and bio variables? what happens if one factor contribute more than the other? is this calculated in the model etc?
[x] Line 219: maybe include an example of this to break up the thick section of technical information and give the reader an idea that they are following correctly.
[x] Line 228: examples of the first two could be added. e.g. fieldwork it might be a gut content analysis paper to infer feeding relationship. or another model may be the ADBM just using body size to predict feasability of an interaction.
