Lafferty et al. (2008)	In this recent ideas and perspectives section, the authors advocate again the addition of parasites in food web theory and empirical studies. This is . . .	abhaykrsna	May 13, 2008
White and Kendall (2007)	This paper demonstrates via an analytical analysis of a spatially-implicit difference model that fishery yield of a species exhibiting intercohort post-dispersal density dependent regulation of . . .	crow	Dec 11, 2007
Hastings and Botsford (1999)	This is a great paper that presents a very elegant analytical analysis describing yield under reserve-based versus conventional, quota-based fishery management. However, despite a statement . . .	crow	Dec 11, 2007
Chase (2003)	A really good study. The fact that Chase has been replicating these results in experimental mesocosems greatly strengthens the observational results reported here. . . .	Andrew Rassweiler	Nov 15, 2007
Durant (2000)	Shows that both male and female cheetahs increase their vigilance and move away when they hear a lion or a hyena call. The author’s strongest . . .	Andrew Rassweiler	Jul 11, 2008
Heithaus and Dill (2002)	A very good study of organism distribution. In the absence of sharks, dolphins distributions follow prey distributions (the match is quite amazingly good), . . .	Andrew Rassweiler	Nov 15, 2007
Srinivasan et al. (2007)	They couch their results in the language of extinctions, but that relies on a fairly static view of food webs (ie no prey switching when . . .	Andrew Rassweiler	Nov 15, 2007
Dulvy et al. (2004)	There are two fairly distinct parts of the paper. First they show that coral cover goes down, algal cover goes up and starfish density goes up . . .	Andrew Rassweiler	Nov 14, 2007

Geritz and Kisdi (2004)	In population dynamics, the models for discrete-time and continuous-time have developed largely in parallel. Often, they describe life-histories at the end of the two extremes . . .	Elizaveta Pachepsky	Nov 2, 2007
Halitschke et al. (2007)	In this interesting paper Halitschke and coauthors have shown that plant (Nicotiana attenuata) signals (leaf volatiles) which act as a stress signal when herbivores . . .	abhaykrsna	Nov 2, 2007
