Turnover in an amphibian metacommunity : the role of local and regional factors (2007, background): “in timing and size at metamorphosis, morphology, physiology and behavior in response to both the physical environment and the presence of predators and competitors ( Benard 2004, Relyea 2004, Van Buskirk and Arioli 2005).”
Predator‐induced stress and the ecology of fear (2013, background): “That predator exposure can have sustained – or even permanent – effects on morphology is well-established in invertebrate and aquatic species (Tollrian & Harvell 1999; Benard 2004).”
Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “Prey species often have developed complex behavioral and developmentally plastic responses that reduce their risk of being preyed upon (Benard 2004, Schmitz et al. 2004, Werner & Peacor 2003).”
Alternative growth and energy storage responses to mortality threats in damselflies (2005, background): “…plasticity in metamorphic traits in animals with a complex life cycle may be related to predator-induced changes in larval morphology and behaviour and urged that future work should incorporate more detailed studies of growth rate, morphology, and behaviour during the larval period (Benard 2004).”
Fish and dragonfly nymph predators induce opposite shifts in color and morphology of tadpoles (2008, background): “Upon detecting predators, many invertebrate and vertebrate prey change their phenotype by altering behavior, morphology or chemistry in ways that increase their survival (Tollrian and Harvell 1999, Benard 2004).”
Warming, eutrophication, and predator loss amplify subsidies between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (2012, background): “Predatory fish can reduce insect and amphibian developmental rates (Benard, 2004) and emergence (Pope et al., 2009; Wesner, 2010), and indirectly reduce detritus decomposition rates by feeding on benthic detritivores (Greig & Mcintosh, 2006).”
