Journal ArticleDOI
THE ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF INTRAGUILD PREDATION: Potential Competitors That Eat Each Other
TL;DR: The purpose is to document the ubiquity and importance of intraguild predation and to establish a theoretical framework for its analysis, which is the first synthesis of IGP into a general work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food Web Complexity and Community Dynamics
Gary A. Polis,Donald R. Strong +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that trophic cascades and top-down community regulation as envisioned by trophIC-level theories are relatively uncommon in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution and Dynamics of Intraspecific Predation
TL;DR: One of the purposes is to establish a theoretical framework for the organization and interpretation of the numerous observations of intraspecific predation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical framework for intraguild predation
Robert D. Holt,Gary A. Polis +1 more
TL;DR: The consequences of incorporating IGP into standard models of exploitative competition and food chains (a general resource-consumer model, a Lotka-Volterra food chain model, and Schoener's exploitative Competition model) are explored and a general criterion for coexistence in IGP systems is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex trophic interactions in deserts: an empirical critique of food-web theory
TL;DR: It is argued that most cataloged webs are oversimplified caricatures of actual communities, and patterns from food webs of real communities generally do not support predictions arising from dynamic and graphic models of food-web structure.
