Distribution of eigenvalues along the real axis. Normalised frequency distributions of eigenvalues along the real axis for all food web structures and random matrices for species richness \(2-9\). Eigenvalues representing food webs are taken from simulations using a range of values of \(\beta\) (Table 1), since varying \(\beta\) does not have significant effects on the real-part distributions (Details: Sec. S6). All distributions are scaled to start in \(-1\). Note the logarithmic vertical axis scaling.
