DOI: 10.1002/advs.202404578
Abstract: Plants are fascinating living systems, possessing starkly different morphology to mammals, yet they have still evolved ways to defend themselves, consume prey, communicate, and in the case of plants like Mimosa pudica even move in… read more here.

A spatial theory for emergent multiple predator–prey interactions in food webs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3250
Abstract: Abstract Predator–prey interaction is inherently spatial because animals move through landscapes to search for and consume food resources and to avoid being consumed by other species. The spatial nature of species interactions necessitates integrating spatial… read more here.

Keystone nonconsumptive effects within a diverse predator community

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.

Hunting‐mediated predator facilitation and superadditive mortality in a European ungulate
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3642
Abstract: Abstract Predator‐prey theory predicts that in the presence of multiple types of predators using a common prey, predator facilitation may result as a consequence of contrasting prey defense mechanisms, where reducing the risk from one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3954
Abstract: Abstract The Lower Keys marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris hefneri) is one of many endangered endemic species of the Florida Keys. The main threats are habitat loss and fragmentation from sea‐level rise, development, and habitat succession.… read more here.

Behavioral responses to conspecific mobbing calls are predator‐specific in great tits (Parus major)

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5467
Abstract: Abstract When facing a predator, animals need to perform an appropriate antipredator behavior such as escaping or mobbing to prevent predation. Many bird species exhibit distinct mobbing behaviors and vocalizations once a predator has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70387
Abstract: ABSTRACT A balanced equilibrium between carnivores and their prey is crucial for maintaining ecosystem sustainability. In this study, we applied the predator–prey power law equation to assess the balance between the biomass densities of carnivores… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71208
Abstract: ABSTRACT Assemblages are connected through the movement of physical and biological resources including recruits. Identifying recruitment sources for predators and their prey could help us understand how assemblages use connectivity across multiple trophic levels and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71447
Abstract: ABSTRACT Heatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far‐reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this… read more here.

Individual Antipredator Responses Are Positively Correlated Across Cue Types in Free‐Living Black‐Capped Chickadees ( Poecile atricapillus )

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72016
Abstract: ABSTRACT Prey animals must accurately assess predation risk within their environment. To gather information about this risk, prey animals may personally sample the environment (“personal information”) or observe the behavior of congeners (“social information”). Personal… read more here.

Damselfly eggs alter their development rate in the presence of an invasive alien cue but not a native predator cue

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7729
Abstract: Abstract Biological invasions are a serious problem in natural ecosystems. Local species that are potential prey of invasive alien predators can be threatened by their inability to recognize invasive predator cues. Such an inability of… read more here.
