Summary 1 A predictive framework of community and ecosystem dynamics that applies
across systems has remained elusive, in part because non‐consumptive predator effects are …

The “landscape of fear” model has been proposed as a unifying concept in ecology,
describing, in part, how animals behave and move about in their environment. The basic …

Although predation is recognized as an important factor for sea turtles at early life history
stages, the possible influences of predators on adult sea turtles have largely been …

The nature of competitive interactions between native and introduced invasive species is
unclear. In the Iberian Peninsula, the introduced red‐eared slider (Trachemys scripta …

Predator–prey interactions are critical in shaping behavior, ecology, population dynamics,
and life histories and are central to community and ecosystem dynamics. Sea turtles …

During the reproductive season, sea turtles use a restricted area in the vicinity of their
nesting beaches, making them vulnerable to predation. At Raine Island (Australia), the …

Invasive species are a significant cause of biodiversity declines on a global scale with novel
species interactions often causing ecological damage through predation or competition. Red …

Interactions between large marine predators and their prey are difficult to observe and little
is known about the risk of predation faced by sea turtles. The frequency of predator-inflicted …

Marine turtles undergo dramatic ontogenic changes in body size and behavior, with the
loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, typically switching from an initial oceanic juvenile …

The loss of large‐bodied herbivores and/or top predators has been associated with large‐
scale changes in ecosystems around the world, but there remain important questions …
