    Strong effects of food quality on host life history do not scale to impact parasitoid efficacy or life history

    Parasitoids are small insects, (e.g., small wasps or flies) that reproduce by laying eggs on or within host arthropods. Parasitoids make up a large proportion of the world’s biodiversity and are popular agents...

    Small-amplitude cycles emerge from stage-structured interactions in Daphnia–algal systems

    McCauley et al. blend theory and experiment to explore the dynamical mechanisms that give rise to different types of predator–prey cycles. Their theory predicts a new type of small-amplitude cycle that coexists w...

    Mechanisms for consumer diversity (Reply)

    We have demonstrated that qualitatively different consumer-resource dynamics can have a large impact on natural selection in a consumer population, and proposed that the change in selection is generated by the...

    Stage-structured cycles promote genetic diversity in a predator–prey system of Daphnia and algae

    Understanding how genetic diversity is maintained in nature is a fundamental problem. Existing theory assumes overly simple population dynamics, even though these dynamics are rarely supported by the evidence....
