Trait‐based diet selection: prey behaviour and morphology predict vulnerability to predation in reef fish communitiesJournal of Animal Ecology - Tập 83 Số 6 - Trang 1451-1460 - 2014
Stephanie Green, Isabelle M. Côté
Summary Understanding how predators select their prey can provide important
insights into community structure and dynamics. However, the suite of prey
species available to a predator is often spatially and temporally variable. As a
result, species‐specific selectivity data are of limited use for predicting
novel predator–prey interactions because they are assemblage specific. We
present a method f... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial scale and movement behaviour traits control the impacts of habitat fragmentation on individual fitnessJournal of Animal Ecology - Tập 85 Số 1 - Trang 168-177 - 2016
Lorenzo Cattarino, Clive McAlpine, Jonathan R. Rhodes
Summary Habitat fragmentation, that is the breaking apart of habitat, can occur
at multiple spatial scales at the same time, as a result of different land uses.
Individuals of most species spend different amounts of times moving in different
modes, during which they cover different distances and experience different
fitness impacts. The scale at which fragmentation occurs interacts with the
distan... hiện toàn bộ
Improving the application of vertebrate trait‐based frameworks to the study of ecosystem servicesJournal of Animal Ecology - Tập 81 Số 5 - Trang 1065-1076 - 2012
Gary Luck, Sandra Lavorel, S. McIntyre, Katrina Lumb
Summary1. Examining the consequences of environmental change for the provision
of ecosystem services can be facilitated through trait‐based frameworks that
consider linkages between traits that influence a species’ response to change
and traits that determine its effect on ecosystem services.2. Developing these
frameworks requires a systematic approach to trait selection and addressing the
interre... hiện toàn bộ
Metacommunity structure in a small boreal stream networkJournal of Animal Ecology - Tập 82 Số 2 - Trang 449-458 - 2013
Emma Göthe, David G. Angeler, Leonard Sandin
SummaryCurrent ecological frameworks emphasize the relative importance of local
and regional drivers for structuring species communities. However, most research
has been carried out in systems with discrete habitat boundaries and a clear
insular structure. Stream networks deviate from the insular structure and can
serve as excellent model systems for studying hierarchical community dynamics

The importance of biotic interactions in abundance–occupancy relationshipsJournal of Animal Ecology - Tập 71 Số 5 - Trang 846-854 - 2002
Alison R. Holt, Philip H. Warren, Kevin J. Gaston
SummaryMetapopulation dynamics have been postulated as a possible mechanism
giving rise to positive interspecific relationships between local abundance and
regional occupancy. These may operate through the carrying capacity or the
rescue effect hypotheses. However, both are based on single species models that
sum independent occurrences of species to form an assemblage, ignoring
interspecific inte... hiện toàn bộ
