Species coexistence within ecosystems and the stability of patterns of temporal changes in population sizes are central topics in ecological theory. In the last decade, adaptive behaviour has been proposed as a mechanism ...

In nature, prey and predator species are embedded in complex networks of ecological interactions. As a consequence, organism level reactions such as predator-induced prey defenses will not only influence the dynamics of ...

By means of qualitative techniques we analyze the consequences of inducible defenses of species embedded in trophic chains on the community stability and responses of population equilibrium densities to press perturbations. ...
