Journal ArticleDOI
The ontogenetic niche and species interactions in size-structured populations
Earl E. Werner,James F. Gilliam +1 more
TL;DR: The body size is one of the most important attributes of an organism from an ecological and evolutionary point of view as mentioned in this paper, and it has a predominant influence on an animal's energetic requirements, its potential for resource exploitation, and its susceptibility to natural enemies.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Test of the Effects of Predation Risk on Habitat Use in Fish
TL;DR: Methods to predict the additional mortality expected on a cohort due to a reduction in growth rate are developed, and the potential for predation risk to enforce size—class segregation is discussed, which leads de facto to resource partitioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of trait-mediated indirect interactions in ecological communities
Earl E. Werner,Scott D. Peacor +1 more
TL;DR: The case for the broad mechanistic basis for TMIIs is developed and the direct evidence for T MIIs in various permutations of simple three- to four-species food webs is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms creating community structure across a freshwater habitat gradient
TL;DR: Lentic freshwater habitats in temperate regions exist along a gradient from small ephemeral ponds to large permanent lakes, and fitness tradeoffs associated with a few critical traits of individuals often form the basis for species turnover along the gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Foraging and the Size Selection of Prey by the Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis Macrochirus)
Earl E. Werner,Donald J. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that changes in diet maximize return with respect to time spent foraging in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus, that is known to select prey on the basis of size.
