• Consequences of behavioral dynamics for the population dynamics of predator-prey systems with switching (2004, background): “However, it has been modeled as instantaneous in a range of studies, including Tansky (1978), Teramoto et al. (1979), Matsuda (1985), Matsuda et al. (1987), Abrams (1987), Van Baalen and Sabelis (1999), Post et al. (2000) , and Van Baalen et al. (2001).”
• The strength of trophic cascades across ecosystems: predictions from allometry and energetics (2005, background): “Yodzis & Innes (1992) developed a model of parameterized consumer-resource dynamic equations using empirical relations among body size, metabolic type and rates of ingestion, metabolism and biomass production (see also McCann & Yodzis 1994; Huxel & McCann 1998; McCann et al . 1998; Post et al . 200”
• The dynamics of spatially coupled food webs. (2005, background): “For example, cross-linkage between littoral and pelagic subsystems (or pelagic/benthic) has been shown to be strongly stabilizing ( Post et al. 2000a, b).”
• A long-term rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) invasion: dispersal patterns and community change in a north temperate lake (2004, background): “Some authors have gone further to suggest that the loss of benthic prey items may destabilize food webs by removing alternate prey items for pelagic species (Post et al. 2000; Schindler and Scheuerell 2002).”
• Detritus, trophic dynamics and biodiversity (2004, background): “The amount of energy flowing through the detrital pathway can equal or exceed that of the grazing branch (Hairston & Hairston 1993; Wetzel 1995; Cole et al. 2000; Cole & Caraco 2001; Heymans et al. 2002; Mulholland et al. 2002).”
• Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, background): “That is, lacking the biotic feed-backs, is the AME now more susceptible to physical forcing (see Balance et al. 2006), as is now being argued for depleted non-marine ecosystems (e.g. Post et al. 2000, Wilmers et al. 2002, Wilmers & Getz 2005)?”
• Habitat coupling in lake ecosystems (2002, background): “Thus, the alternate resources provided by benthic food webs stabilize piscivore populations by de-coupling them from the dynamics of their preferred prey (Schindler et al. 1997b, Post et al. 2000).”
• Food webs: reconciling the structure and function of biodiversity. (2012, background): “This needs to include the movements of individuals – as the movement of top pre-dators (in particular) across landscapes can strongly affect local food web structure and ecosystem function [68].”
