Dynamical models of biomass can reveal how the structure of food webs is involved in many key ecosystem properties, such as persistence, stability, etc.In this contribution, we present BioEnergeticFoodWebs, an implementation of Yodzis & Innes (1992) bio-energetic model, in the high-performance computing language Julia.We illustrate how this package can be used to conduct numerical experiments in a reproducible and standard way.A reference implementation of this widely used model will ease reproducibility and comparison of results across studies.
