In this paper we review the empirical studies documenting trait‐mediated indirect
interactions (TMIIs) in food webs. Basic models and empirical approaches that form the …

▪ Abstract Understanding and predicting the dynamics of multispecies systems generally
require estimates of interaction strength among species. Measuring interaction strength is …

Community ecology has undergone a transformation in recent years, from a discipline
largely focused on processes occurring within a local area to a discipline encompassing a …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

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 present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

Trophic cascades are regarded as important signals for top‐down control of food web
dynamics. Although there is clear evidence supporting the existence of trophic cascades, the …

1. Recent efforts to understand how the patterning of interaction strength affects both
structure and dynamics in food webs have highlighted several obstacles to productive …

The field of ecotoxicology is experiencing a surge in attention among ecologists as we gain
a deeper appreciation for how contaminants can impact natural ecosystems. This interest is …

This article introduces and summarizes the foundations of network environ analysis and
describes four primary properties resulting from this research. These properties—dominance …
