Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive & Dependence: Using Dodgeball to Explore Frequency Dependent Selection
(2016-09)The term frequency dependence describes scenarios in which the likelihood of an event occurring is strongly tied to how common a particular trait is. Understanding frequency dependence is key to understanding ... -
Habitat and Scale Shape the Demographic Fate of the Keystone Sea Urchin in Mediterranean Macrophyte Communities
(2012)Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population at a particular ... -
Prey Responses to Predator Chemical Cues: Disentangling the Importance of the Number and Biomass of Prey Consumed
(2012)To effectively balance investment in predator defenses versus other traits, organisms must accurately assess predation risk. Chemical cues caused by predation events are indicators of risk for prey in a wide variety of ... -
Risk assessment based on indirect predation cues: revisiting fine-grained variation
(2015-10)To adaptively express inducible defenses, prey must gauge risk based on indirect cues of predation. However, the information contained in indirect cues that enable prey to fine-tune their phenotypes to variation in risk ... -
THE EFFECTS OF ZOOPLANKTON DISPERSAL ON COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY OF TEMPORARY PONDS
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-10)The dispersal of individuals among habitat patches is thought to have an important effect on ecological communities as it can influence both population dynamics and community assembly. Though much work on dispersal has ...
