Landscapes of fear: spatial patterns of risk perception and response
Animals experience varying levels of predation risk as they navigate heterogeneous
landscapes, and behavioral responses to perceived risk can structure ecosystems. The …

Fear of humans as apex predators has landscape‐scale impacts from mountain lions to mice
Apex predators such as large carnivores can have cascading, landscape‐scale impacts
across wildlife communities, which could result largely from the fear they inspire, although …

Ecological impacts of human‐induced animal behaviour change
A growing body of literature has documented myriad effects of human activities on animal
behaviour, yet the ultimate ecological consequences of these behavioural shifts remain …

Habitat management to suppress pest populations: progress and prospects
Habitat management involving manipulation of farmland vegetation can exert direct
suppressive effects on pests and promote natural enemies. Advances in theory and practical …

Fear of large carnivores causes a trophic cascade
The fear large carnivores inspire, independent of their direct killing of prey, may itself cause
cascading effects down food webs potentially critical for conserving ecosystem function …

Food web rewiring in a changing world
Climate change is asymmetrically altering environmental conditions in space, from local to
global scales, creating novel heterogeneity. Here, we argue that this novel heterogeneity will …

What is a trophic cascade?
Few concepts in ecology have been so influential as that of the trophic cascade. Since the
1980s, the term has been a central or major theme of more than 2000 scientific articles …
