Human alteration of the global environment has triggered the sixth major extinction event in
the history of life and caused widespread changes in the global distribution of organisms …

In this paper we review the empirical studies documenting trait‐mediated indirect
interactions (TMIIs) in food webs. Basic models and empirical approaches that form the …

Interactions among predators can a have substantial effect on the total impact of the predator
complex. We investigated the interaction between foliar‐foraging (Coccinella …

We investigated the role of freshwater macrophytes as refuge by testing the hypothesis that
predators capture fewer prey in more dense and structurally complex habitats. We also …

SUMMARY 1 Crayfish in headwater streams are subjected to predation from two sources:(a)
fish; and (b) terrestrial predators including wading birds and mammals. Field observations of …

1. Some types of flexible foraging behaviours were incorporated into ecological thought in
the 1960s, but the population dynamical consequences of such behaviours are still poorly …

Little is known about the mechanisms behind positive effects of species richness on
ecosystem functioning. In a previous study that showed a positive effect of aquatic detritivore …

Positive interactions are sensitive to human activities, necessitating synthetic approaches to
elucidate broad patterns and predict future changes if these interactions are altered or lost …
