Predator diversity dampens trophic cascadesDeborah L Finke
Department of Entomology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA
Nature 429:407-10. 2004..We show that enhancing predator diversity dampens enemy effects on herbivores and weakens trophic cascades. Consequently, changes in diversity at higher trophic levels can significantly alter ecosystem function in natural systems...
Spatial refuge from intraguild predation: implications for prey suppression and trophic cascadesDeborah L Finke
Department of Entomology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742, USA
Oecologia 149:265-75. 2006..Therefore, changes in habitat complexity can enhance trophic cascades by predator communities and positively impact productivity by moderating negative interactions among predators...
Robert F. Denno (1945-2008): insect ecologist extraordinaireMicky D Eubanks
Department of Entomology, Texas A and M University, College Station, Texas 77843, USA
Annu Rev Entomol 56:273-92. 2011..As a result, Denno's legacy will continue to shape the field of insect ecology for generations to come...
Niche partitioning increases resource exploitation by diverse communitiesDeborah L Finke
Department of Entomology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164, USA
Science 321:1488-90. 2008..Therefore, resource partitioning, and not diversity per se, fostered greater overall resource consumption in our multispecies consumer communities...
Predator biodiversity strengthens herbivore suppressionWilliam E Snyder
Ecol Lett 9:789-96. 2006..Our study suggests a harmonious relationship between predator conservation and herbivore control, and a relatively weak role for predator interference, within this community...
