In plankton ecology, it is a fundamental question as to how a large number of competing
phytoplankton species coexist in marine ecosystems under a seemingly-limited variety of …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

Sigmoid functional responses may arise from a variety of mechanisms, one of which is
switching to alternative food sources. It has long been known that sigmoid (Holling's Type III) …

Trait‐mediated interactions (TMIs), in which trophic and competitive interactions depend on
individual traits as well as on overall population densities, have inspired large amounts of …

Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative
when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that …

Introduces the speech of MP Hassell, member of the Department of Biology of Imperial

This book addresses the fundamental issues of predator-prey interactions, with an emphasis
on predation among arthropods, which have been better studied, and for which the …

The influence of optimal antipredator behavior of prey on predator–prey dynamics in a two-
patch environment is studied. One patch represents an open habitat while the other is a …

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 …
