Predation and parasitism are important factors in the ecology and evolution of natural populations and may, along with other environmental factors, in...

The ecosystem service of predation of weed seeds by naturally occurring seed-eating animals, including ants, in agricultural fields has been suggested...

Alpine and subalpine ecosystems support many endemic species. These ecosystems are increasingly under threat from human-induced disturbances such as h...

Changes in large-scale land use may fragment and degrade habitats, affecting animal species adapted to these habitats. In the UK uplands for example, ...

Large carnivore restoration programs are often promoted as capable of providing ecosystem services. However, these programs rarely measure effects of ...

Introduced vertebrate predators are one of the most important threats to endemic mammal species. Prey naivety can lead to heavy losses to alien predat...

Invasive predators can dramatically alter ecosystems through both direct predation and indirect effects such as tropic cascades. However, most example...

There is a growing theoretical basis for the role of predation risk as a driver of trophic interactions, conceptualized as the 'ecology of fear'. Howe...

[See FA 43, 540] At 3 interior sites in British Columbia, seed predation was directly related to the densities of small mammals, mainly deer mice (Per...

Losses of domestic sheep grazing unattended on upland summer ranges in the Snøhetta plateau of south central Norway during 1979-94 were examined, in r...
