Cannibalism, once viewed as a rare or aberrant behavior, is now recognized to be
widespread and to contribute broadly to the self‐regulation of many populations …

Historically, ecological risk assessments have rarely included amphibian species, focusing
preferentially on other aquatic (fish, invertebrates, algae) and terrestrial wildlife (birds and …

Non-consumptive or risk effects imposed by predators can influence prey behaviour over
different spatio-temporal scales. Prey vulnerability to predation can also be dependent on …

In recent years it has become increasingly clear that chemical interactions play a
fundamental role in aquatic habitats and have far-reaching evolutionary and ecological …

Godzilla, a traditional natural monster and representation of cinema's subgenre of natural
attack, also provides a cautionary symbol of the dangerous consequences of mistreating the …

Biotic conflict can create evolutionary arms races, in which innovation in one group
increases selective pressure on another, such that organisms must constantly adapt to …

Individual traits responding to predation cues are widespread in many aquatic and terrestrial
organisms. However, linking individual traits to population dynamics in response to …

Adaptive developmental plasticity allows individuals to match their phenotype with their
environment, increasing fitness where threats are inconsistently present. However, despite …

Polyphenisms are excellent models for studying phenotypic variation, yet few studies have
focused on natural populations. Facultative paedomorphosis is a polyphenism in which …

In the face of human‐induced declines in the abundance of common species, ecologists
have become interested in quantifying how changes in density affect rates of biophysical …
