▪ 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 …

Cooperation is a ubiquitous behavior in many biological systems and is well-known for
promoting Allee effects. However, few studies have paid attention to mechanisms inducing …

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 …

Many organisms can adjust to a changing environment by developing alternative
phenotypes that improve their fitness. Our understanding of phenotypic plasticity is largely …

Changes in environmental conditions often reverse outcomes of competitive interactions
among species. Such context dependency implies that the speed, persistence, and ubiquity …

▪ Abstract Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature and includes
variation in life history, morphology, and behavior. In organisms with complex life histories …

A food web graphically represents the paths of nutrients and energy through the living
components of an ecosystem and the context in which individuals exploit their prey and …

Phenotypically plastic organisms display alternative phenotypes in different environments. It
is widely appreciated that possessing alternative phenotypes can affect fitness. However …

Global declines in amphibians likely have multiple causes, including widespread pesticide
use. Our knowledge of pesticide effects on amphibians is largely limited to short-term (4-d) …
