Rapid evolution of consumptive and non‐consumptive predator effects on prey population densities, bioenergetics and stoichiometry
Predators can strongly influence prey populations not only through consumptive effects (CE)
but also through non‐consumptive effects (NCE) imposed by predation risk. Yet, the impact …
