Studies of phenotypic plasticity frequently ask how organisms respond to a change in their
environment, but most organisms do not experience single environmental changes …

Metamorphosis has intrigued biologists for a long time as an extreme form of complex life
cycles that are ubiquitous in animals. While investigated from a variety of perspectives, the …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

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 …

A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and
ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on …

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

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

The role of predators and competitors in the choice of oviposition site by the treefrog Hyla
chrysoscelis was examined in a randomized complete block experiment using 90 replicated …

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) …

Communities of larval amphibians in fishless habitats often differ strikingly from those in
habitats with fish. We surveyed larvae of 15 amphibian species to determine if presence or …
