Identifying stabilizing factors in foodwebs is a long standing challenge withwide implications for community ecology and conservation. Here, we investigatethe stability of spatially resolved meta-foodwebs with far-rangingsuper-predators for whom the whole meta-foodwebs appears to be a singlehabitat. By using a combination of generalised modeling with a master stabilityfunction approach, we are able to efficiently explore the asymptotic stabilityof large classes of realistic many-patch meta-foodwebs. We show thatmeta-foodwebs with far-ranging top predators are more stable than those withlocalized top predators. Moreover, adding far-ranging generalist top predatorsto a system can have a net stabilizing effect, despite increasing the food websize. These results highlight the importance of top predator conservation.

Far-ranging generalist top predators enhance the stability of meta-foodwebs
