Moving beyond linear food chains: trait-mediated indirect interactions in a rocky intertidal food web by Trussell, Geoffrey C., Matassa, Catherine M., Ewanchuk, Patrick J.

“…In simple, linear food chains, top predators can have positive indirect effects on basal resources by causing changes in the traits (e.g. behaviour, feeding…”

Resource levels and prey state influence antipredator behavior and the strength of nonconsumptive predator effects by Matassa, Catherine M., Donelan, Sarah C., Luttbeg, Barney, Trussell, Geoffrey C.

“…The risk of predation can drive trophic cascades by causing prey to engage in antipredator behavior (e.g. reduced feeding), but these behaviors can be…”

Habitat effects on the relative importance of trait- and density-mediated indirect interactions by Trussell, Geoffrey C, Ewanchuk, Patrick J, Matassa, Catherine M

“…Classical views of trophic cascades emphasize the primacy of consumptive predator effects on prey populations to the transmission of indirect effects…”

The effects of variable predation risk on foraging and growth: Less risk is not necessarily better by Trussell, Geoffrey C, Matassa, Catherine M, Luttbeg, Barney

“…There is strong evidence that the way prey respond to predation risk can be fundamentally important to the structuring and functioning of natural ecosystems…”

RESOURCE IDENTITY MODIFIES THE INFLUENCE OF PREDATION RISK ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION by Trussell, Geoffrey C, Ewanchuk, Patrick J, Matassa, Catherine M

“…It is well established that predators can scare as well as consume their prey. In many systems, the fear of being eaten causes trait-mediated cascades whose…”

Climate change enhances the negative effects of predation risk on an intermediate consumer by Miller, Luke P, Matassa, Catherine M, Trussell, Geoffrey C

“…Predators are a major source of stress in natural systems because their prey must balance the benefits of feeding with the risk of being eaten. Although this…”

Landscape of fear influences the relative importance of consumptive and nonconsumptive predator effects by Matassa, Catherine M, Trussell, Geoffrey C

“…Predators can initiate trophic cascades by consuming and/or scaring their prey. Although both forms of predator effect can increase the overall abundance of…”

Cascading effects of a top predator on intraspecific competition at intermediate and basal trophic levels by Matassa, Catherine M., Ewanchuk, Patrick J., Trussell, Geoffrey C.

“…Predators can impact competition among prey by altering prey density via consumption or by causing prey to modify their traits or foraging behavior. Yet,…”

Purple sea urchins Strongylocentrotus purpuratus reduce grazing rates in response to risk cues from the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus by Matassa, C

“…The classical view of trophic cascades is that predators, by consuming herbivores, exert a positive indirect effect on plants. Although this form of trophic…”

fear of being eaten reduces energy transfer in a simple food chain by Trussell, Geoffrey C., Ewanchuk, Patrick J., Matassa, Catherine M.

“…Food chain length is an important property of ecosystems, but the mechanisms maintaining it remain elusive. Classical views suggest that energetic…”
