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 …

Trophic cascades are textbook examples of predator indirect effects on ecological systems.
Yet there is considerable debate about their nature, strength and overall importance. This …

Predation is a central feature of ecological communities. Most theoretical and empirical
studies of predation focus on the consequences of predators consuming their prey …

Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested
fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they …

▪ Abstract Recent theories regarding the evolution of predator-prey interactions is reviewed.
This includes theory about the dynamics and stability of both populations and traits, as well …

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 …

We present a handy mechanistic functional response model that realistically incorporates
handling (ie, attacking and eating) and digesting prey. We briefly review current functional …

There is a large and growing interest in non‐consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators.
Diverse and extensive evidence shows that predation risk directly influences prey traits …

The body mass (or fat reserves) maintained by a wintering bird can be viewed as a trade—
off between the risk of starvation and the risk of predation. This follows from the fact that fat …

Animals commonly choose among habitats that differ both in foraging return and mortality
hazard. However, no experimental study has attempted to predict the level of increase in …
