Defensive modifications in prey traits that reduce predation risk can also have negative
effects on prey fitness. Such nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) of predators are common, often …

The outcome of species interactions is often strongly influenced by variation in the functional
traits of the individuals participating. A rather large body of work demonstrates that inducible …

Several field data and experiments on a terrestrial vertebrates exhibited that the fear of
predators would cause a substantial variability of prey demography. Fear for predator …

Recent field experiments on vertebrates showed that the mere presence of a predator would
cause a dramatic change of prey demography. Fear of predators increases the survival …

SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase that governs a number of genetic programs to
cope with changes in the nutritional status of cells and organisms. Behavioral responses to …

Whereas impacts of predator interference on predator-prey dynamics have received
considerable attention, the “inverse” process—foraging facilitation among predators—have …

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 …

Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the
structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the …

In ecology, predator–prey interaction is one of the most important factors. The effects of
predators on prey population can be direct and deadly, or it may be indirect and non …

This article re-analyses a prey–predator model with a refuge introduced by one of the
founders of population ecology Gause and his co-workers to explain discrepancies between …
