Animals experience varying levels of predation risk as they navigate heterogeneous
landscapes, and behavioral responses to perceived risk can structure ecosystems. The …

Research on the ecology of fear has highlighted the importance of perceived risk from
predators and humans in sha** animal behavior and physiology, with potential …

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 …

This book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to desert ecology and adopts a
strong evolutionary focus. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis …

Mesopredators abundance is often limited by top-order predators and also by key food
resources. However, the contribution of these bidirectional forces to structure carnivore …

This paper provides the results from the first meta‐analysis to examine the impact of
cormorant (Phalacrocoracidae) predation on fish. It is based on a systematic search of …

Apex predators can limit the abundance and behaviour of mesopredators, thereby reducing
predation on smaller species. We know less about whether native apex predators are …

Within the framework of a food web, the foraging behavior of meso-carnivorous species is
influenced by fear responses elicited by higher trophic level species, consequently …

The challenges of sampling rare fauna limit efforts to understand and mitigate the factors that
restrict their distribution. Camera traps have become a standard technique for sampling …

The prey naivety hypothesis posits that prey are vulnerable to introduced predators because
many generations in slow gradual coevolution are needed for appropriate avoidance …
