DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5600
Abstract: Abstract Aim The influence of humans on large carnivores, including wolves, is a worldwide conservation concern. In addition, human‐caused changes in carnivore density and distribution might have impacts on prey and, indirectly, on vegetation. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8593
Abstract: Abstract Predator/parasitoid functional response is one of the main tools used to study predation behavior, and in assessing the potential of biological control candidates. It is generally accepted that predator learning in prey searching and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8631
Abstract: Abstract Phenotypic plastic responses to temperature can modulate the kinetic effects of temperature on biological rates and traits and thus play an important role for species adaptation to climate change. However, there is little information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3734
Abstract: Prey handling processes are considered a dominant mechanism leading to short-term positive indirect effects between prey that share a predator. However, a growing body of research indicates that predators are not necessarily limited by such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7088
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND Anastatus japonicus Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is a solitary egg endoparasitoid that has been studied for inundative biological control of Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in China. In this study, we assessed the reproductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3963-8
Abstract: Predator–prey interactions play a crucial role in structuring food webs, and the functional response is one way to measure the strength of this interaction. Here, we examine how predator and prey body size affects the… read more here.

Can intrinsic foraging efficiency explain dominance status? A test with functional response experiments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4302-4
Abstract: The functional response describes how food abundance affects the intake rate of foraging individuals, and as such, it can influence a wide range of ecological processes. In social species, dominance status can affect the functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-019-09993-7
Abstract: In augmentative biocontrol, more generalists are being investigated for their potential in pest control. Although other food sources such as supplementary food may enhance the survival of generalists, whether they will affect their predation capacity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02487-7
Abstract: Biodiversity is declining on a global scale and the spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is a major driver, particularly through predatory impacts. Thus, effective means of assessing and predicting the consequences of IAS predation… read more here.
