The growth/predation risk trade-off: so what is the mechanism?

The American naturalist - 1 May 2004

McPeek Mark A

Abstract excerpt

Among damselflies in natural lakes, Ischnura species grow faster than coexisting Enallagma species, but Enallagma species have higher survival under predation than Ischnura species. This growth/predation risk trade-off apparently allows these taxa to coexist in ponds and lakes across the Holarctic. However, laboratory studies presented here show that the mechanism assumed by most theoretical and empirical studies...
