TLDR
This work has shown that predation is a major selective force in the evolution of several morphological and behavioral characteristics of animals and the importance of predation during evolutionary time has been underestimated.Abstract:
Predation has long been implicated as a major selective force in the evolution of several morphological and behavioral characteristics of animals. The importance of predation during evolutionary ti...read more

Farmland biodiversity: is habitat heterogeneity the key?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the loss of ecological heterogeneity at multiple spatial and temporal scales is a universal consequence of multivariate agricultural intensification and that future research should develop cross-cutting policy frameworks and management solutions that recreate that heterogeneity as the key to restoring and sustaining biodiversity in temperate agricultural systems.

Nonlethal Effects in the Ecology of Predator-Prey Interactions What are the ecological effects of anti-predator decision-making?
TL;DR: A perusal of any recent textbook on ecology will not only confirm the importance of predation in modern ecology, but also illustrate the preeminence of the "lethal" perspective on predation.

Human-caused Disturbance Stimuli as a Form of Predation Risk
Alejandro Frid,Lawrence M. Dill +1 more
TL;DR: A growing number of studies quantify the impact of non-lethal human disturbance on the behavior and reproductive success of animals as mentioned in this paper, and many of these studies are well designed and analytically sophisticated, but most lack a theoretical framework for making predictions and for understanding why particular responses occur.

Scared to death? the effects of intimidation and consumption in predator–prey interactions
TL;DR: The results suggest that the costs of intimidation, traditionally ignored in predator-prey ecology, may actually be the dominant facet of trophic interactions.

The Evolution of Cooperation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

Life-history tactics: a review of the ideas.
TL;DR: This review organizes ideas on the evolution of life histories into more comprehensive theory that makes more readily falsifiable predictions, and examination of different definitions of fitness.

Theory of Feeding Strategies
TL;DR: Throughout, emphasis will be placed on strategic aspects of feeding rather than on what Holling (75) has called "tactics," and possible answers to the first problem may be given to the second problem.

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.
