Habitat loss, fragmentation and predator impact: spatial implications for prey conservation.
Authors: Schneider, M. F.
Because predators threaten the survival of endangered prey in many places, predator management is a widespread conservation tool. At the same time, th...
Functional and numerical responses do not always indicate the most effective predator for biological control: an analysis of two predators in a two-prey system.
Authors: Lester, P. J. & Harmsen, R.
1. Functional and numerical responses are key components in the selection of predators for biological control. We examined the relevance of these resp...
