Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local
environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From …

Social clues in risky pools: Perceived conspecific rivals strongly modify individual oviposition decisions in response to larval predation and competition
Reproductive choices are imperative in shaping organismal fitness across diverse taxa.
Such choices are particularly critical in organisms with biphasic lifecycles, as females must …
