Metamorphosis has intrigued biologists for a long time as an extreme form of complex life
cycles that are ubiquitous in animals. While investigated from a variety of perspectives, the …

Many ecologists believe that there is a lack of foraging theory that works in community
contexts, for populations of unique individuals each making trade-offs between food and risk …

The ability of females to assess habitat quality for offspring can strongly influence individual
reproductive success as well as population dynamics and community assembly. However …

Only a fraction of the individuals in a given prey population are likely to be killed and
consumed by predators. In contrast, nearly all individuals experience the chronic effects of …

Body size is associated with fundamental biological processes such as metabolism,
movement, and the rate of reproduction and evolution. Although allometric principles should …

Whether or not a frog is just a tadpole's way of making another tadpole, the larvae of
amphibians have been long underemphasized in science, education, and conservation …

Adult aquatic insects are a common resource for many terrestrial predators, often considered
to subsidize terrestrial food webs. However, larval aquatic insects themselves consume both …

While theoretical studies of the timing of key switch points in complex life cycles such as
hatching and metamorphosis have stressed the importance of considering multiple stages …

Abstract Effects of glyphosate‐formulated herbicides on nontarget organisms have received
much recent attention. Although previous studies have explored the effects of pesticides on …

Dispersal of organisms has large effects on the dynamics and stability of populations and
communities. However, current metacommunity theory largely ignores how the flows of …
