Intraguild predation and cannibalism among larvae of detritivorous caddisflies in subalpine wetlands
(Ecological Society of America, 1996-12-01)Comparative data from subalpine wetlands in Colorado indicate that larvae of the limnephilid caddisflies, Asynarchus nigriculus and Limnephilus externus, are reciprocally abundant among habitats–Limnephilus larvae dominate ... -
Pond drying cues promote cannibalism in larval Anax junius dragonflies
(University of Chicago Press, 2020-07-10)Global climate change is expected to shorten hydroperiods and accelerate drying of ephemeral freshwater habitats, a shift that is likely to increase intraspecific competition and cannibalism in the aquatic animals that ... -
Reinforcing abiotic and biotic time constraints facilitate the broad distribution of a generalist with fixed traits
(Ecological Society of America, 2009-06-16)Abstract. Many species are habitat specialists along environmental gradients as a result of contrasting selection pressures, but others maintain broad distributions along such gradients. Phenotypic plasticity explains the ...
