Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 948–958 Abstract Many generalist populations are composed of
specialised individuals, whose niches are small subsets of the population niche. This …

Wildlife managers can more easily mitigate the effects of invasive species if action takes
place before a population becomes established. Such early detection requires sensitive …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

Predators are increasingly recognized as key elements in food webs because of their ability
to link the fluxes of nutrients and energy between spatially separated food chains. However …

Among vertebrates, herbivores have longer digestive tracts than animals at higher trophic
levels, a pattern thought to reflect a trade‐off between digestive efficiency and tissue …

This study was conducted to investigate whether dietary supplementation of black soldier fly

Yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) larvae meal (TM), one of the seven insect species
approved for use in aquafeed in Europe, is a frequently investigated candidate for fish diets …

Life histories evolve as a response to multiple agents of selection, such as age‐specific
mortality, resource availability or environmental fluctuations. Predators can affect life‐history …

Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis has been a popular model species for decades in the fields
of aquatic ecology, community dynamics, behaviour, physiology and ecotoxicology. Yet …

1. Many natural populations exploiting a wide range of resources are actually composed of
relatively specialized individuals. 2. This interindividual variation is thought to be a …
