- •
We compare sardines, anchovies, Antarctic krill, and desert locusts as part of ‘wasp-waist’ food webs.
- •
We define their key traits that allow exceptional biomass densities to be supportable.
- •
These traits help to lighten the foraging footprint and reduce top-down control of their food.
- •
We show profitable areas for marine–terrestrial cross-fertilisation of study approaches.
