Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

Interactions among species, which range from competition to facilitation, have profound
effects on ecosystem functioning. Large carnivores are of particular importance in shaping …

A “landscape of fear”(LOF) is a map that describes continuous spatial variation in an
animal's perception of predation risk. The relief on this map reflects, for example, places that …

Niche partitioning of time, space or resources is considered the key to allowing the
coexistence of competitor species, and particularly guilds of predators. However, the extent …

Most ecosystems have multiple predator species that not only compete for shared prey, but
also pose direct threats to each other. These intraguild interactions are key drivers of …

Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

Anthropogenic disturbances can constrain the realized niche space of wildlife by inducing
avoidance behaviors and altering community dynamics. Human activity might contribute to …

In extreme high-latitude marine environments that are without solar illumination in winter,
light-mediated patterns of biological migration have historically been considered non …

Fear of predation can have major impacts on the behaviour of prey species. Recently the
concept of the ecology of fear has been defined and formalised; yet there has been relatively …

Risks of predation or interference competition are major factors shaping the distribution of
species. An animal's response to risk can either be reactive, to an immediate risk, or …
