DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04716-7
Abstract: A 23-year time-series of abundance for 13 lady beetle species (Coccinellidae) was used to investigate community stability. The community exhibited persistence in ten habitats, no overall trend in abundance, and low temporal variability quantified as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-017-0908-y
Abstract: Within a species, individual animals adopt various defensive strategies to resist natural enemies, but the defensive strategies that are adopted in response to variations in predation risk are poorly understood. Here, we assessed consecutive foraging… read more here.
