DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3074
Abstract: The input of external energy and matter in recipient ecosystems can act as a bottom-up force that subsidizes consumers, with subsequent cascading effects throughout the food web. Depending on the amount of input, dietary preference… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-017-9845-5
Abstract: Slugs such as Deroceras reticulatum Müller (Pulmonata: Agriolimacidae) cause crop losses in temperate regions worldwide. Numerous species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) feed on slugs, but possible interactive effects are poorly known. Here, we compared… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-017-9901-8
Abstract: There is remarkable diversity in brain anatomy among vertebrates and evidence is accumulating that predatory interactions are crucially important for this diversity. To test this hypothesis, we collected female guppies (Poecilia reticulata) from 16 wild… read more here.

Invasive ascidians: How predators reduce their dominance in artificial structures in cold temperate areas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151459
Abstract: Abstract Artificial structures can provide suitable space for invasive species through a colonisable surface and refuge against predators. Besides several physical factors, invasive species can present different colonization success and dominance on structures that are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox009
Abstract: Abstract Invasive rats (Rattus spp.) are known to have pervasive impacts on island birds, particularly on their nesting success. To conserve or restore bird populations, numerous invasive rat control or eradication projects are undertaken on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13197
Abstract: Context dependence arises when ecological relationships vary with the conditions under which they are observed. Context dependence of interactions involving parasites is poorly known, even if it is key to understanding host-parasite relationships and food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00538-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT Hypersaline ecosystems display taxonomically similar assemblages with low diversities and highly dense accompanying viromes. The ecological implications of viral infection on natural microbial populations remain poorly understood, especially at finer scales of diversity. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12030341
Abstract: Simple Summary In this study, we investigated whether predation pressures in the early life history of frogs can result in an anuran-affect behavior response in the later stages of their life history. Tadpoles that undergo… read more here.

DOI: 10.3391/ai.2019.14.3.04
Abstract: Predation risk is among the key forces driving the evolution of escape behaviours and related phenotypes. Successful avoidance of predators results in increased survival rate and fitness. The behavioural response of individuals under predation pressure… read more here.
