food chain

Noun

 * 1) The feeding relationships between species in a biotic community.
 * 2)  A hierarchy.
 * With my promotion this month I will continue my steady journey to the top of the food chain.

Usage notes
Because the concept of the food chain implies a feeding hierarchy proceeding upwards to a top predator, modern ecologists usually prefer the term food web, since that term allows for a more complicated system of interactions.
