The dynamics of spatially coupled food webs
KS McCann, JB Rasmussen, J Umbanhowar - Ecology letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The dynamics of ecological systems include a bewildering number of biotic interactions that
unfold over a vast range of spatial scales. Here, employing simple and general empirical …

Trophic levels and trophic tangles: the prevalence of omnivory in real food webs
The concept of trophic levels is one of the oldest in ecology and informs our understanding
of energy flow and top‐down control within food webs, but it has been criticized for ignoring …

Connecting theoretical and empirical studies of trait‐mediated interactions
Trait‐mediated interactions (TMIs), in which trophic and competitive interactions depend on
individual traits as well as on overall population densities, have inspired large amounts of …

Stability and persistence of food webs with omnivory: Is there a general pattern?
The relationship between omnivory and stability has been the subject of a longstanding
debate in ecology. Early theory predicted that omnivory would decrease the probability of …

Intraguild predation usually does not disrupt biological control
A Janssen, M Montserrat, R HilleRisLambers… - Trophic and guild in …, 2006 - Springer
Intraguild predation is claimed to be ubiquitous in nature. It also occurs among natural
enemies in biological control systems, where one natural enemy (the intraguild predator) …

Adaptive omnivory and species coexistence in tri-trophic food webs
The commonness of omnivory in natural communities is puzzling, because simple dynamic
models of tri-trophic systems with omnivory are prone to species extinction. In particular, the …
