Nonconsumptive predator effects on prey demography: recent advances using intertidal invertebrates

RA Scrosati - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Predators influence prey demography through consumption, but the mere presence of
predators may trigger behavioural changes in prey that, if persistent or intense, may also …

Predator-induced shell plasticity in mussels hinders predation by drilling snails

ZT Sherker, JA Ellrich, RA Scrosati - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2017 - int-res.com
Sessile invertebrate prey that detect waterborne predator cues often respond by
strengthening their structural defenses. Experimental evidence of the functional significance …

Community‐wide consequences of nonconsumptive predator effects on a foundation species

AM Catalán, J Büchner‐Miranda… - Journal of Animal …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Predators can exert nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) on prey, which often take place through
prey behavioural adjustments to minimise predation risk. As NCEs are widespread in nature …

A 12-year record of intertidal barnacle recruitment in Atlantic Canada (2005–2016): relationships with sea surface temperature and phytoplankton abundance

RA Scrosati, JA Ellrich - PeerJ, 2016 - peerj.com
On the Gulf of St. Lawrence coast of Nova Scotia (Canada), recruitment of the barnacle
Semibalanus balanoides occurs in May and June. Every year in June between 2005 and …

Benthic–pelagic coupling and bottom‐up forcing in rocky intertidal communities along the Atlantic Canadian coast

RA Scrosati, JA Ellrich - Ecosphere, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Benthic species from rocky intertidal systems are irregularly distributed along marine
coastlines. Nearshore pelagic conditions often help to explain such variation, but most such …

Water motion modulates predator nonconsumptive limitation of prey recruitment

JA Ellrich, RA Scrosati - Ecosphere, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Predator chemical cues can elicit behavioral changes in prey to minimize predation risk.
Recent field studies have shown that such predator nonconsumptive effects (NCE s) can …

Predator (Carcinus maenas) nonconsumptive limitation of prey (Nucella lapillus) feeding depends on prey density and predator cue type

ML Boudreau, RA Scrosati, MC Wong - Journal of Ethology, 2018 - Springer
Predators often have nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) on prey. For example, upon detection
of predator cues, prey can reduce feeding activities to hamper being detected by predators …

Nonconsumptive predator effects on prey demography: dogwhelk cues decrease benthic mussel recruitment

SM Ehlers, RA Scrosati, JA Ellrich - Journal of Zoology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Predators often have nonconsumptive effects (NCE s) on prey behaviour, but the
demographic consequences for prey remain poorly known. This is important to understand …

Eastern oysters use predation risk cues in larval settlement decisions and juvenile inducible morphological defenses

JL Pruett, MJ Weissburg - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2019 - int-res.com
Predation is an important factor affecting the recruitment of marine benthic populations.
Larvae can reduce their risk of predation by avoiding settlement near predators, whereas …

Recruitment and Post-recruitment Dynamics of the Barnacle Semibalanus balanoides on a Wave-Exposed Headland in Atlantic Canada

RA Scrosati, JK Holt - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Materials and Methods We did this study at Western Head, a prominent rocky headland
located on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (43.9896 N, 64.6607 W; Figure 1A). We took all …
