The role of apex predators in ecosystem function: fear triggered cascades regulated by differential prey vulnerability

Trophic cascades involving large terrestrial mammals are very seldom empirically demonstrated. The high species diversity often associated with terrestrial systems is thought to modulate the strength of trophic cascades. In speciose systems, species often vary in vulnerability to consumption, hence...
