▪ Abstract Lentic freshwater habitats in temperate regions exist along a gradient from small
ephemeral ponds to large permanent lakes. This environmental continuum is a useful axis …

An increasing number of studies have described the presence of microplastics (≤ 5 mm) in
many different fish species, raising ecological concerns. The factors influencing the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses predation as a factor that may regulate levels of
recruitment or generate variations in it. It also discusses predation on fish eggs and larvae …

This review compiles, summarizes and provides new analytical insights on large amounts of
fragmented information on the diets and feeding behaviours of syngnathids (Family …

Laboratory studies were used to evaluate the effects of varying structural complexity (at
densities of 0, 747, 1494, 2250 and 3032 blades/m 2 artificial seagrass) and light intensity …

In order to understand patterns of predator diets and foraging efficiency relative to predator
and prey size, it is essential to determine which particular suite of constraints determines the …

(1) Young-of-the-year (YOY) brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), use two foraging
tactics in streams:(i) movers swim slowly while foraging,(ii) stayers remain stationary and …

In this study laboratory experiments were conducted to test predictions of capture
performance based on an understanding of the hydrodynamics of contrasting feeding …

In this paper, I explore the consequences of different predator foraging tactics on patterns of
prey selection. Foraging tactics are categorized on the basis of two dichotomies, the first …

Field experiments were performed to explore the nature of indirect interactions between two
groups of ecologically distinct prey that occur on subtidal rocky reefs at Santa Catalina …
