▪ 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 …

My objective here is to provide a comprehensive review of recent empirical and theoretical
work on antipredator decision making. The ways in which predators influence the behavioral …

It is well documented that animals take risk of predation into account when making decisions
about how to behave in particular situations, often trading-off risk against opportunities for …

Community ecology: the study of the patterns and processes involving two or more species-
has developed rapidly in the last two decades, driven by new and more sophisticated …

SYNOPSIS. Maternal effects comprise a class of phenotypic effects that parents have on
phenotypes of their offspring that are unrelated to the offspring's own genotype. Although …

La dinámica espacial de anfibios se asemeja de muchas maneras a los modelos
metapoblacionales clásicos donde las subpoblaciones en los estanques de reproducción …

Predator effects on prey dynamics are conventionally studied by measuring changes in prey
abundance attributed to consumption by predators. We revisit four classic examples of …

Oviposition-site choice is a major maternal effect by which females can affect the survival
and phenotype of their offspring. Across oviparous species, the ultimate reasons for females' …

The field of ecotoxicology is experiencing a surge in attention among ecologists as we gain
a deeper appreciation for how contaminants can impact natural ecosystems. This interest is …

▪ Abstract Inherited environmental effects are those components of the phenotype that are
derived from either parent, apart from nuclear genes. Inherited environmental effects arise …
