Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9933
Abstract: Abstract Global change has altered the nature of disturbance regimes, and megafire events are increasingly common. Megafires result in immediate changes to habitat available to terrestrial wildlife over broad landscapes, yet we know surprisingly little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3706
Abstract: Functional responses - the relationships between consumer foraging rate and resource (prey) density - provide key insights into consumer-resource interactions while also being a major driver of population dynamics and food web structure. We present… read more here.

Optimal prey switching: Predator foraging costs provide a mechanism for functional responses in multi-prey systems.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3928
Abstract: Foragers must balance the costs and gains inherent in the pursuit of their next meal. Classical functional responses formulations describe consumption rates driven by prey density and are naive to predator foraging costs. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-021-09870-5
Abstract: Climate warming can change species performance and ecological interactions, which alter the energy flow in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we set microcosms to analyse how warming and predator affect the functional responses of three subtropical cladocerans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1735-y
Abstract: Alien predators can have large impacts on prey. It is important that we understand, and ideally predict, these impacts. Here, we compare predatory impacts of size-matched decapod crustaceans—invasive alien Eriocheir sinensis and Pacifastacus leniusculus, and… 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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e06212
Abstract: In this paper we analyze the dynamics of a tritrophic food chain, with functional responses of Holling type III and II for the mesopredator and superpredator respectively and logistic growth rate for the prey. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-98035-3
Abstract: Purkinje cells are critically involved in processing the cerebellar functions by shaping and coordinating commands that they receive. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that in the adult zebrafish valvular part of the cerebellum, the Purkinje cells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2sm01530g
Abstract: Cooperative protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions form programmable complex assemblies, often performing non-linear gene regulatory operations involved in signal transductions and cell fate determination. The apparent structure of those complex assemblies is very similar, but their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12682
Abstract: Understanding why heterogeneity exists in animal-habitat spatial relationships is critical for identifying the drivers of animal distributions. Functional responses in habitat selection - whereby animals adjust their habitat selection depending on habitat availability - are… read more here.
