Concepts

Chemical cues released by predators that benefit prey by providing information about predator presence

Species-specific selection for particular combinations of physical habitat characteristics like water depth, current velocity, and substrate size

Behavior where caddisfly larvae consume material from their own or others' protective cases

Daily behavioral pattern where aquatic organisms move vertically in the water column, typically showing different activity levels during day versus night periods

Differential prey use based on habitat type, with fairy shrimp comprising majority of diet in temporary ponds

Algae growing attached to surfaces such as decomposing plant material
