Semi‐intensive shrimp farms as experimental arenas for the study of predation risk from falcons to shorebirds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Varying environmental conditions and energetic demands can affect habitat use by predators and their prey. Anthropogenic habitats provide an opportunity to document both predation events and foraging activity by prey and therefore enable an empirical ...
