We address the coexistence and biodiversity of the system using mean-field theory and Monte Carlo simulations. Then, we find that the inhibition from the bottom-level species to the top-level species can be critical factors that affect biodiversity, no matter how it is distributed, whether homogeneously well mixed or structured. We also find that predators{\textquoteright} different preferences for food affect species{\textquoteright} coexistence. }, year = {2016}, journal = {PLoS One}, volume = {11}, pages = {e0157938}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0157938}, language = {eng}, }
