| interspecific variation in life history relates to antipredator decisions by marine mesopredators on temperate reefs. | as upper-level predatory fishes become overfished, mesopredators rise to become the new 'top' predators of over-exploited marine communities. to gain insight into ensuing mechanisms that might alter indirect species interactions, we examined how behavioural responses to an upper-level predatory fish might differ between mesopredator species with different life histories. in rocky reefs of the northeast pacific ocean, adult lingcod (ophiodon elongatus) are upper-level predators that use a sit-and ... | 2012 | 22768226 |
