Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

India is blessed with vast floodplain wetland resources of 0.5 million ha that are distributed
in the Eastern and North Eastern States. They possess varying morphometry, ecological …

Ecology of Shallow Lakes brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that
drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings, found in …

Based on data from 233 Danish lakes, enclosure experiments, full-scale experiments and
published empirical models we present evidence that top-down control is more important in …

A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and
ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on …

In population models, omnivorous predation (ie, predation on> 1 trophic level) generally has
a destabilizing influence, whereas habitat heterogeneity tends to stabilize both predatory …

Contemporary ecological landscape planning is often based on the assumption that small
isolated habitat patches sustain relatively few species. Here, we suggest that for shallow …

1. In some shallow lakes, Daphnia and other important pelagic consumers of phytoplankton
undergo diel horizontal migration (DHM) into macrophytes or other structures in the littoral …

In many fish species, some individuals arediurnal while others are nocturnal. Sometimes,
the same individual can be diurnal at first andthen switch to nocturnalism, or vice-versa. This …

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 …
