Journal ArticleDOI
Competition for shelter space causes density-dependent predation mortality in damselfishes
TL;DR: D density-dependent mortality in both damselfishes arose from interference competition for refuge space from crepuscular and nocturnal predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Environmental Impacts: Natural Variability, Effect Size, and Power Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the power of any test of an environmental impact is simultaneously constrained by the variability of the data, the magnitude of the putative impact, and the number of independent sampling events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of abrupt transitions in ecological systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply an approach to 30-60 years of data on environmental drivers, biological responses, and associated evidence from pelagic ocean, coastal benthic, polar marine, and semi-arid grassland ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivory, Connectivity, and Ecosystem Resilience: Response of a Coral Reef to a Large-Scale Perturbation
Thomas C. Adam,Russell J. Schmitt,Sally J. Holbrook,Andrew J. Brooks,Peter J. Edmunds,Robert C. Carpenter,Giacomo Bernardi +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence of a rapid increase in populations of herbivorous fishes following the most recent perturbation is presented, and it is shown that grazing by these herbivores has prevented the establishment of macroalgae following near complete loss of coral on offshore reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The combined effects of predation risk and food reward on patch selection
TL;DR: Results indicate that juvenile black surfperch possess an array of responses to food and predators, which together may act to minimize the sublethal effect of predators on feeding at a minimal increase in probability of death.
