The predation gauntlet : early post-settlement mortality in reef fishes by ALMANY, Glenn R, WEBSTER, Michael S

“…Most marine fishes have pelagic larvae that settle to benthic juvenile/adult habitats. Ecologists have argued that mortality rates are particularly high during…”

Native prey mortality increases but remains density-dependent following lionfish invasion by Ingeman, Kurt E., Webster, Michael S.

“…Predators can regulate prey population dynamics, so the introduction of novel predators may alter predation-mediated regulatory mechanisms, potentially…”

The opportunity for sexual selection: not mismeasured, just misunderstood by KRAKAUER, A. H., WEBSTER, M. S., DUVAL, E. H., JONES, A. G., SHUSTER, S. M.

“…Evolutionary biologists have developed several indices, such as selection gradients (β) and the opportunity for sexual selection (Is), to quantify the actual…”

Role of Predators in the Early Post-Settlement Demography of Coral-Reef Fishes by Webster, Michael S.

“…Populations with dispersive larvae are often demographically open such that local reproduction and subsequent larval settlement are not linked. Thus,…”

Plumage colour acquisition and behaviour are associated with androgens in a phenotypically plastic tropical bird by Lindsay, Willow R., Webster, Michael S., Varian, Claire W., Schwabl, Hubert

“…Androgens regulate male reproductive behaviour and may be a mechanistic link between sexual signals and physiological condition. However, the role of these…”

Temporal Density Dependence and Population Regulation in a Marine Fish by Webster, Michael S.

“…Population regulation requires between-generation temporal density dependence, which has proved difficult to document unequivocally in nature, especially in…”

Links between worlds: unraveling migratory connectivity by Webster, Michael S., Marra, Peter P., Haig, Susan M., Bensch, Staffan, Holmes, Richard T.

“…Migration is the regular seasonal movement of animals from one place to another, often from a breeding site to a nonbreeding site and back. Because the act of…”

Genetic similarity of social mates predicts the level of extrapair paternity in splendid fairy-wrens by Tarvin, Keith A., Webster, Michael S., Tuttle, Elaina M., Pruett-Jones, Stephen

“…Why females mate with multiple males, particularly in socially monogamous species, is one of the central unanswered questions in sexual selection and…”

Odd species out as predators reduce diversity of coral-reef fishes by Almany, Glenn R., Webster, Michael S.

“…When predators differentiate among prey species, they commonly select the most abundant species. Surprisingly, on coral reefs in Australia and the Bahamas, we…”

Montezuma oropendolas modify a component of song constrained by body size during vocal contests by Price, J. Jordan, Earnshaw, Sarah M., Webster, Michael S.

“…Physical constraints on animal signals can influence how challenging they are to produce, which in turn can provide potentially important cues about the…”
