Abstract:
Predator-prey interactions are an important evolutionary driver of species' form and
diversity, and are a central driver of ecosystem structure. However, the context
dependent nature of interactions between predators and prey represents an example
of the difficulty of prediction at the centre of many ecological and evolutionary
problems. For example, the outcome of predator-prey interactions depends on a
myriad of factors such as environmental conditions: food web structures; population
dynamics; and the specific current physiological and behavioural states of
the individual species involved.
