Recent studies document unprecedented declines in marine top predators that can initiate
trophic cascades. Predicting the wider ecological consequences of these declines requires …

My objective here is to provide a comprehensive review of recent empirical and theoretical
work on antipredator decision making. The ways in which predators influence the behavioral …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecosystem-based management is costly. Therefore, without rigorously showing that it can
outperform traditional species-focused alternatives, its broad-scale adoption in conservation …

Coastal ecosystems, such as estuaries, salt marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
comprise some of the world's most productive and ecologically significant ecosystems …

. P] redator-prey interactions have long captured the attention of ecologists, and with good
reason. Predation leads inevitably to the removal of prey individuals from ecological …

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

Ontogenetic dietary shifts (ODSs), the changes in diet utilisation occurring over the life span
of an individual consumer, are widespread in the animal kingdom. Understanding ODSs …

Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested
fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they …
