Effects of episodic bamboo mast seeding on top predators in the southern Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-09)
Woody bamboos that undergo masting on a cyclic basis constitute large-scale endogenous disturbances in forests of America, Africa and Asia, driving long- and short-term effects on community structure and dynamics. Among ...
Bottom-up and top-down effects in a pre-dispersal seed predation system: are non-predated seeds damaged?
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2014)
Trait-mediated effects on flowers: Artificial spiders deceive pollinators and decrease plant fitness
(Ecological Soc Amer, 2014)
Why predation is not a controlling factor of phytoplankton in a Neotropical shallow lake: a morpho-functional perspective
(Springer, 2017-03)
This work explores the reasons why predation plays a minor role in structuring phytoplankton composition in a Neotropical shallow lake. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish were sampled from a shallow lake over the course ...
Field exclusion of large soil predators impacts lower trophic levels and decreases leaf-litter decomposition in dry forests
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09-08)
Shifts in densities of apex predators may indirectly affect fundamental ecosystem processes, such as decomposition, by altering patterns of cascading effects propagating through lower trophic levels. These top–down effects ...
Back-calculation of total length of Argentine seabass Acanthistius patachonicus using morphometric relationships of bones and measurements of the body
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2020-06)
Predictive regression equations were generated to estimate total length of the Argentine seabass (A. patachonicus) using skull and pectoral girdle bones, specific body and otolith lengths. Regressions of skull and pectoral ...
Foraging by the omnivorous crab Pachygrapsus transversus affects the structure of assemblages on sub-tropical rocky shores
(Inter-research, 2010-01-01)
The roles of herbivory and predation in determining the structure and diversity of communities have been tested across most intertidal systems. In contrast, the importance of omnivorous consumers remains untested in many ...

A question of size and fear: Competition and predation risk perception among frugivores and predators
(2020-05-22)
Mammalian spatial and temporal activity patterns can vary depending on foraging behavior or the perception of predation or competition risk among species. These behaviors may in turn be altered by human influences such as ...
