The critical domain size problem determines the size of the region of habitat needed to ensure population persistence. In this paper we address the critical domain size problem for seasonally fluctuating stream environments and determine how large a reach of suitable stream habitat is needed to...

Variation in the temporal pattern of vulnerability can provide important insights into predator-prey relationships and the evolution of antipredator behavior. We illustrate these points with a system that has coyotes (Canis latrans) as a predator and two species of congeneric deer (Odocoileus...

Environmental variation is often a very important aspect in the ecology of organisms, with most populations experiencing at least seasonal fluctuations in resource availability and thus in their carrying capacity (Annegers 1973; Emmel 1976, chap. 10; Fleming and Hooker 1975; Fretwell 1972). A...
