Habitat use by crayfish in stream pools: influence of predators, depth and body size
- G. Englund, J. Krupa
- Biology
- 2000
SUMMARY 1. Crayfish in headwater streams are subjected to predation from two sources: (a) fish; and (b) terrestrial predators including wading birds and mammals. Field observations of the mortality… Expand
Path analysis and the relative importance of male–female conflict, female choice and male–male competition in water striders
Abstract Three major behavioural mechanisms underlying sexual selection in many systems are male–male competition, female choice and male–female conflict. We used path analysis to evaluate the… Expand

Abstract Male Great Plains toads, Bufo cognatus , exhibit two mating tactics. At any time, most males give advertisement calls to attract females, while other males, ‘satellites’, remain silent and… Expand
Assortative mating by size: A meta-analysis of mating patterns in water striders

- 1 May 1996
SummaryAssortative mating by size is a common mating pattern that can be generated by several different behavioural mechanisms, with different evolutionary implications. Assortative mating is… Expand
Fishing spiders, green sunfish, and a stream-dwelling water strider: male-female conflict and prey responses to single versus multiple predator environments
Abstract Many studies have experimentally addressed the effects of a particular predator species on prey behavior. In nature, however, prey frequently face multiple species of predators that often… Expand
Experimental studies on water strider mating dynamics: spatial variation in density and sex ratio
SummaryWe used field surveys, field experiments and experiments in artificial pools to study the effects of variation in sex ratio and density on mating dynamics of a stream water strider, Aquarius… Expand
The Importance of Naturalists as Teachers & the Use of Natural History as a Teaching Tool
- J. Krupa
- Biology
- 1 October 2000
FuTuymA (1998) defines a naturalist (specifically a scientific naturalist) as someone with a broad and deep knowledge of one or more groups of organisms or ecological communities. A naturalist has an… Expand
Male density, female density and inter-sexual conflict in a stream-dwelling insect
Abstract Male and female densities were experimentally manipulated to determine their effects on inter-sexual conflict over mating in the water strider,Aquarius remigis. Upon encounter, males and… Expand
