Tab. 3. Connectance of fish trophic networks in two Venezuelan Llanos streams during four survey periods. LT= link threshold, which defines the lower limit of the magnitude of trophic interactions (represented by proportional volume of dietary items in the diet of a given consumer during a given period) included in the connectance estimate. January was the low-water period, September was near the peak of the annual flood pulse, and during November and December floodwaters were gradually receding.
