Matthew Pintar; William Resetarits. Structure of natural communities is shaped by both abiotic characteristics and by the ongoing processes of community assembly. Important to this process are the habitat selection behaviors and subsequent survival of...

R. Pintar Matthew; J. Resetarits William. Predators are a particularly critical component of habitat quality, as they affect survival, morphology, behavior, population size, and community structure through both consumptive and non-consumptive effects. Non-consumptive effects can...
William Resetarits; Matthew Pintar; Jason Bohenek. Running the gauntlet of predators consumes critical time and energy resources, as all species are vulnerable to one or, typically, more predators at some life stage. Prey employ a...
William Resetarits; Jason Bohenek; Matthew Pintar. Predators affect prey through both consumptive and non-consumptive effects, and prey typically face threats from multiple simultaneous predators. While different predators have a variety of non-consumptive effects on prey,...
R. Pintar Matthew; J. Resetarits William. 1. Habitat selection by colonizing organisms is an important factor in determining species abundance and community dynamics at multiple spatial scales. Many organisms select habitat patches based on intrinsic...
Matthew Pintar; C. Scott Reed; J. Resetarits William. Patch size is one of the most important factors affecting the distribution and abundance of species, and recent research has shown that patch size is an important...
J. Resetarits William; R. Pintar Matthew; R. Bohenek Jason; M. Breech Tyler. Positive correlation of species richness with area is ubiquitous in nature, but the processes driving that relationship, and those constraining typical patterns, remain...
R. Pintar Matthew; R. Bohenek Jason; L. Eveland Lauren; J. Resetarits William. 1. Predation risk and resource abundance are two primary characteristics that determine species abundances and community composition. Colonizing organisms should attempt to minimize...
