Non-consumptive effects in fish predator–prey interactions on coral reefs
MD Mitchell, AR Harborne - Coral Reefs, 2020 - Springer
Predator–prey interactions are critical in ecological communities, but it is increasingly clear
that a predator's effect goes beyond eating prey. Fear of predators may also alter the …
