The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and
community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental …

Natural selection should favor females that avoid ovipositing where risk of predation is high
for their progeny. Despite the large consequences of such oviposition behavior for individual …

Understanding what regulates population sizes of organisms with complex life cycles is
challenging because limits on population sizes can occur at any stage or transition. We …

Different species occupy similar trophic positions in natural communities. However,
ecologists have often overlooked the consequences of this variation for local communities …

The common carp Cyprinus carpio, a worldwide introduced benthivorous fish, has been
implicated in the degradation of native environments through initiation of a shift to a …

The ability of females to assess habitat quality for offspring can strongly influence individual
reproductive success as well as population dynamics and community assembly. However …

Oviposition habitat choices of species with aquatic larvae are expected to be influenced by
both offspring risk of mortality due to predation, and offspring growth potential. Aquatic …

Body size is associated with fundamental biological processes such as metabolism,
movement, and the rate of reproduction and evolution. Although allometric principles should …

How patterns of prey abundance are generated determines how predation influences
population and community level dynamics. We investigated how a natural population of …

Pond‐breeding amphibians have been characterized as having metapopulation structure,
and a goal of many local restoration projects is to establish viable metapopulations …
