Although it might seem most prudent to be predicting, constructing, and
defining networks that are the closest representation of reality there
are pros and cons of constructing both realised networks as well as
metawebs. Let us take for example a community across time/through
seasons. In this community we expect species to be either present or
absent depending on the season (\emph{i.e.,} changes in co-occurrence)
as well as some species exhibiting seasonal diet shifts, these details
would be lost at the scale of the metaweb an it would be valuable to
construct either smaller metawebs for the different seasonal communities
(thereby capturing the changes in community diversity), or realised
networks for each season (to capture diet or ecosystem process shifts).
However, these small-scale networks lack the context of the bigger
picture that is available at the metaweb - that is it gives us a more
holistic idea of the entire diet range of a specific species, which is
important when one needs to make conservation-based/applied decisions
(\emph{e.g.,} conserving the entire diet of a species and not just
seasonal prey items) as well as providing information on interactions
that may be possible regardless of the environmental/community context
(species may have the capacity to consume certain prey items but do not
do so due to local conditions). With this is mind let us see how the
different network aggregations can be used

\textbf{1: A global metaweb}

Knowledge of the entire diet breadth of a species is valuable especially
in terms of understanding how a species will respond to changes in the
community - \emph{e.g.,} invasions/rewilding exercises (where does the
new species `fit' within the network?) as well as potential capacity to
shift its diet. ALthough this might make sense across space and not time
but certain species act as links across the landscape.

\textbf{2: A seasonal metaweb}

Knowledge at the finer scale is also valuable to understand/identify
that there are in fact differences between the seasons

\textbf{3: A seasonal realised network}

Dynamics are useful because they are a representation of the different
configurations/energy flows/ecosystem processes. Also to detect more
nuanced shifts in diet - \emph{e.g.,} seasonal diet shifts.

\textbf{4: A structural network}

\textbf{Data trade off}

Above we highlight the practical uses of the different network
configurations but we also need to take into consideration the barriers
to construction/associated data needs/cost and acknowledge them.
Basically in the ideal world we would have all this information at hand
but in reality we might be sitting with seasonal metawebs\ldots{}
metawebs. Let us take for example a community that experiences a degree
of species turnover between seasons. In this community we expect species
to be either present or absent depending on the season (\emph{i.e.,}
changes in co-occurrence) as well as some species exhibiting seasonal
shifts in their diets (be that due to changes in species occurrence or
predator choice). If one were to construct a metaweb that disregards
these season shifts (`global metaweb') these details would be lost and
it would be valuable to construct either smaller metawebs for the
different seasonal communities (thereby capturing the changes in
community diversity), or realised networks for each season (to capture
diet or ecosystem process shifts). However, these small-scale networks
lack the context of the bigger picture that is available at the metaweb
- that is it gives us a more holistic idea of the entire diet range of a
specific species, which is important when one needs to make
conservation-based/applied decisions (\emph{e.g.,} conserving the entire
diet of a species and not just seasonal prey items) as well as providing
information on interactions that may be possible regardless of the
environmental/community context (species may have the capacity to
consume certain prey items but do not do so due to local conditions).
