A/Prof Ross Coleman’s research on predator-prey interactions appears in the latest issue of Ecology. The paper details how aggregation of prey, which can represent reduced food abundance, alters our understanding of trophic cascades.

An invited paper by Associate Professor Lars Jermiin has appeared in Methods in Molecular Biology. The paper reviews model selection and model evaluation, and presents, for the first time, a road map of how violation of commonly assumed phylogenetic assumptions might be detected and overcome.
