BACKGROUND Context‐dependencies can modulate the strength of predatory interactions
and often remain unquantified. In particular, differences in water depth within aquatic …

BACKGROUND Predatory biological control agents can be effective natural means of
managing pests, vectors and invasive species. However, the strength of predator–prey …

Predation is a key biotic interaction that influences both the structure and functioning of
ecosystems, and is relevant in the biological control context. Levels of habitat complexity in …

BACKGROUND Predation plays a pivotal role in the composition and functioning of
ecosystems. Both habitat complexity and predator density are important contexts which may …

1. Interactions between multiple predators can modify prey risk and profoundly alter
ecological community dynamics. Further, ontogenic prey size changes are known to mediate …

Natural enemies can play a critical role in regulating pests, with simplified ecosystems often
favoring pest proliferation via reduced predation pressure. As predator-predator interactions …

Adaptive foraging behaviour in the presence of multiple prey types may mediate stability to
predator-prey relationships. For biological control agents, the presence of alternative prey …

The number of prey killed by diverse predator communities is determined by
complementarity and interference among predators, and by traits of particular predator …

The spread of invasive species continues to reduce biodiversity across all regions and
habitat types globally. However, invader impact prediction can be nebulous, and …

Interactions between multiple predators can profoundly affect prey risk, with implications for
prey population stability and ecosystem functioning. In austral temporary wetlands, arid-area …
