The influence of predatory fish on mayfly drift: extrapolating from experiments to nature (2002, background): “The long history of stream research in this catchment enabled us to identify sufficient replicate streams with and without drift-feeding fish (Peckarsky et al., 2001).”
Positive effect of predators on prey growth rate through induced modifications of prey behaviour (2002, background): “There are also a number of laboratory experiments that demonstrate that if tadpoles are fed an equal low food level they grow at the same rate even with very large predator-induced activity reductions (Skelly & Werner 1990; Relyea 2001; Relyea 2002).”
FLASH FLOODS AND AQUATIC INSECT LIFE‐HISTORY EVOLUTION: EVALUATION OF MULTIPLE MODELS (2002, background): “In the mayfly Baetis, multivoltinism also produced two emergence periods during a single season, but a decline in body size was only associated with the first period (Peckarsky et al. 1993, 2001).”
Induced morphological defenses in the wild: Predator effects on a mayfly, Drunella coloradensis (2002, unknown): “We suspect that differentiation of defensive morphology begins after the spring runoff recedes, and the risk of trout predation increases (Peckarsky et al. 2001), thereby protecting the later, more vulnerable developmental stages.”
