TL;DR: It is shown that simple trade-off behaviour can lead to both positive and negative indirect effects of predators on plant resources and hence can explain considerable contingency on the nature and strength of cascading effects among systems.

TL;DR: This synthesis shows that prey abundance may have relatively little effect on pit relocation and that physical properties of the habitat or competition often override its effect, and proposes new research directions, such as studying whether pit relocation is an adaptive response, when controlling for possible phylogenetic effects.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the behaviour of trap‐building predators is not stereotypic or fixed as was once commonly accepted, rather it can vary greatly, depending on the individual's internal state and its interactions with external environmental factors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the simulation model used to test the relative success of an ambush and an active predator changes as a function of the relative velocity and movement directionality of prey and active predator is a better predictor of encounter rates than previous studies.

TL;DR: The authors investigated microbial communities at three sites in the guts of European seabass under four dietary conditions and identified generalist core microbial populations in each gut site that are shared across fish, present under multiple diets and persistent over time.
