Top-down pulses reduce prey population sizes and persistence
(2018-06-19)
Resource pulses are well documented and have important consequences for population dynamics relative to continuous inputs. However, pulses of top-down factors (e.g. predation) are less explored and appreciated in the ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-04)
Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ...
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 ...
