Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Aim Pyrodiversity is the spatial or temporal variability in fire effects across a landscape.
Multiple ecological hypotheses, when applied to the context of post‐fire systems, suggest …

Teleost fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on Earth. On tropical coral reefs,
their species richness exceeds 6000 species; one tenth of total vertebrate biodiversity. A …

Biological communities are shaped by complex interactions between organisms and their
environment as well as interactions with other species. Humans are rapidly changing the …

A “landscape of fear”(LOF) is a map that describes continuous spatial variation in an
animal's perception of predation risk. The relief on this map reflects, for example, places that …

ABSTRACT A behavioral syndrome is a suite of correlated behaviors expressed either
within a given behavioral context (eg, correlations between foraging behaviors in different …

The rapid response of animals to changes in predation risk has allowed behavioral
ecologists to learn much about antipredator decision making. A largely unappreciated …

Mammalian predator-prey systems are behaviorally sophisticated games of stealth and fear.
But, traditional mass-action models of predator prey dynamics treat individuals as …

Individual humans, and members of diverse other species, show consistent differences in
aggressiveness, shyness, sociability and activity. Such intraspecific differences in behaviour …

▪ Abstract Lentic freshwater habitats in temperate regions exist along a gradient from small
ephemeral ponds to large permanent lakes. This environmental continuum is a useful axis …
