Competition in many species in di- and tri-trophic food webs is studied. The top species have either fixed or adaptive preferences for their prey. It is shown that prey switching strongly promotes species coexistence. In food-web modules studied, prey switching leads to food-web dynamics that are similar to linear-food chains.
