Scaling of Food-Web Properties with Diversity and Complexity Across Ecosystems (2010, background): “Moreover, implementing natural body-mass distributions in models of complex food webs also yields positive relationships between complexity and stability (Rall et al., 2008).”
Body‐mass constraints on foraging behaviour determine population and food‐web dynamics (2010, methodology): “This strong top-down pressure can control the prey population to low equilibrium densities if the attack rate is high, whereas low attack rates lead to oscillatory dynamics (Oaten & Murdoch 1975; Rall, Guill & Brose 2008 ).”
Warming up the system: higher predator feeding rates but lower energetic efficiencies (2011, background): “In consequence of these decreasing energetic efficiencies, warming should increase population stability with less fluctuations in population densities over time (Vasseur & McCann, 2005; Rall et al., 2008).”
Temperature, predator–prey interaction strength and population stability (2009, methodology): “Calculations of long-term interaction strengths were based on a population dynamic model (Yodzis & Innes, 1992; Vasseur & McCann, 2005; Rall et al., 2008) of prey density, N (Ind.”
Robustness to secondary extinctions: Comparing trait-based sequential deletions in static and dynamic food webs (2011, background): “2; see (Williams & Martinez 2004; Rall et al. 2008)).”
