Refining the stress gradient hypothesis for mixed species groups of African mammals
Scientific Reports, 2022 Species interactions such as facilitation and predation influence food webs, yet it is unclear how they are mediated by environmental gradients. Here we test the stress gradient hypothesis which predicts that positive species interactions increase with ...
