Ecological impacts of trait-mediated interaction between predator and prey

研究了可诱导的攻击和防御的生态后果，使用捕食性动物小海豚、火蜥蜴幼虫和猎物水蛙、青蛙蝌蚪。实验证明，捕食者和被捕食者的对抗性诱导反应对被捕食者蝌蚪的种群动态和两个物种的生活史都有影响。我们还发现，种群水平效应的改变影响了无脊椎动物群落的丰富度和生态系统功能

Ecological consequences of inducible offense and defense are explored using predator Hynobius retardatus salamander larvae and prey Rana pirica frog tadpoles. We experimentally demonstrated that the antagonistic inducible responses of the predator and prey impact on population dynamics of prey tadpoles and life history of both species. We also found that the modification of the population level effects affect abundance of invertebrate community and ecosystem function
