Habitat structure affects intraguild predation

A Janssen, MW Sabelis, S Magalhães, M Montserrat… - Ecology, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Intraguild predation is thought to be ubiquitous in natural food webs. Yet, theory on intraguild
predation predicts the intraguild prey to persist only under limited conditions. This gap …

A global synthesis of predation on bivalves

A Meira, JE Byers, R Sousa - Biological Reviews, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

Spatial refuge from intraguild predation: implications for prey suppression and trophic cascades

DL Finke, RF Denno - Oecologia, 2006 - Springer
The ability of predators to elicit a trophic cascade with positive impacts on primary
productivity may depend on the complexity of the habitat where the players interact. In …

Habitat complexity influences cascading effects of multiple predators

JH Grabowski, AR Hughes, DL Kimbro - Ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Although multiple predator effects and trophic cascades have both been demonstrated in a
wide variety of ecosystems, ecologists have yet to incorporate these studies into an …

Important but ignored: Research progress on crab foraging behaviour and its implications for aquaculture

D Liu, B Zhu, X Liu, F Wang - Reviews in Aquaculture, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Crab fisheries play a crucial role in global fishery economics, but they heavily rely on wild
catches. With the decline and exploratory limits of wild populations, expanding the scale and …

Detecting emergent effects of multiple predator species

BD Griffen - Oecologia, 2006 - Springer
When foraging together, multiple predator species that share a single prey often cause prey
mortality that cannot be predicted based on knowledge of predation by each species …

Impact assessment revisited: improving the theoretical basis for management of invasive alien species

J Thiele, J Kollmann, B Markussen, A Otte - Biological Invasions, 2010 - Springer
The theoretical underpinnings of the assessment of invasive alien species impacts need to
be improved. At present most approaches are unreliable to quantify impact at regional …
