DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3392
Abstract: Abstract The number of prey killed by diverse predator communities is determined by complementarity and interference among predators, and by traits of particular predator species. However, it is less clear how predators' nonconsumptive effects (NCEs)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118333
Abstract: While interactions with global warming and multigenerational effects are considered crucial to improve risk assessment of pesticides, these have rarely been studied in an integrated way. While heat extremes can magnify pesticide toxicity, no studies… read more here.
