Keystone Predation and Plant Species Coexistence: The Role of Carnivore Hunting Mode
The American Naturalist, 2011Plant communities are shaped by bottom-up processes such as competition for nutrients and top-down processes such as herbivory. Although much theoretical work has studied how herbivores can mediate plant species coexistence, indirect effects caused by the carnivores that consume herbivores have been largely ignored.

Competition refuges and coexistence: an example from Serengeti carnivores
Journal of Animal Ecology, 19981. In the last two decades predator–prey models have shown that ‘refuges’, in which prey can seek respite from predation, are crucial for the persistence of prey and predator. This concept is equally applicable to interspecific competition and, in a heterogeneous environment, species with low competitive ability should seek out ‘competition refuges ...
