Ecosystems are shaped by complex interactions between species and their environment.
However, humans are rapidly changing the environment through increased carbon dioxide …

Turbidity plays an important role in aquatic predator–prey interactions. Increases in turbidity
are expected to reduce prey capture rates, especially for visually oriented predators …

Estuaries are important nursery habitats for juvenile fishes of many species, but are under
increasing pressure from anthropogenic stressors. We examined the impacts of suspended …

Turbidity, caused by suspended particles in the water column, induces light scattering and
shifts in the wavelengths of light. These changes may impair the ability of fish to use physical …

Predation can significantly affect prey populations and communities, but predator effects can
be attenuated when abiotic conditions interfere with foraging activities. In estuarine …

We examined the effect of turbidity (0.5–14 beam attenuation m–1) and predator attack
speed (150 and 296 cm s–1) on escape responses of juvenile cod Gadus morhua in the …

Environmental factors such as turbidity and habitat complexity affect many aspects of aquatic
food webs, including predator–prey interactions. We examined the effects of turbidity (0, 5 …

The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance
to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the …

Turbidity is widely regarded for modulating primary production and influencing the
distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation. Although less well studied, turbidity can also …

Abstract The anadromous European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) plays a key role in food
webs of many riverine ecosystems in Europe. However, population sizes in several German …
