Abstract
► We model a pelagic ecosystem consisting of three trophic levels and a nutrient. ► We examine relationships between species traits and trophic transfer efficiency. ► Herbivore traits are important for the trophic transfer across three trophic levels. ► The importance of traits depends on how herbivores are regulated in a community.
