A shift in the relative arrival of offspring, for example a shift in hatching time, can affect
competition at the intraspecific level through size‐mediated priority effects, where the larger …

Interactions between benthic predators and pelagic prey, such as larval odonates and
Daphnia, are often used to describe classic predator–prey relationships in laboratory …

environmental protection. In this paper I present and characterize controversies related to …

During the analysis of the biomonitoring data of Polish watercourses, it was found that the
vast majority of aquatic insects (83–95% of more than 8.8 million individuals collected …

Although size at maturity and size and number of offspring are life-history traits widely
studied in sexual and parthenogenetic reproduction, there is no such research on animals …

Research on predator–prey interaction has generally ignored the possibility of prey injury by
predator. Although injured prey usually constitute a minor group in a population, sublethal …
