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 …

The vertebrate predators of post‐metamorphic anurans were quantified and the predator–
prey relationship was investigated by analysing the relative size of invertebrate predators …

This chapter succeeds Collins and Washino (1985) and Legner (1985). It consists of 3 parts.
Initially, the literature since the first edition is reviewed. The latest references cited there …

Insects that are secondarily adapted to aquatic environments are able to sense odors from a
diverse array of sources. The antenna of these insects, as in all insects, is the main …

Many aquatic organisms use chemosensory information to learn about local predation
threats, but contaminants in their environment may impair such cognitive processes …

Many ecological processes contribute to regulating the distributions and abundances of
odonate species. In local populations, mortality imposed by predators (including …

An understanding of the consequences of long-term environmental change for higher levels
of biological organisation is essential for both theoretical and applied ecology. Here, we …

We investigated the effects of the predatory backswimmer, Anisops sardea, on oviposition
habitat selection of mosquitoes and other dipterans, and on community structure in …

Adopting cannibalism substantially affects individual fitness, and recognizing the presence
of other cannibals provides additional benefits such as the opportunity to prepare for hunting …

The littoral zone of shallow water bodies (SWB) is highly susceptible to water level
fluctuations (WLF) caused by ongoing climate-related hydrologic regime changes. The …
