Do Large Carnivores and Mesocarnivores Have Redundant Impacts on Intertidal Prey?

Do Large Carnivores and Mesocarnivores Have Redundant Impacts on Intertidal Prey?

The presence of large carnivores can affect lower trophic levels by suppressing mesocarnivores and reducing their impacts on prey. The mesopredator release hypothesis therefore predicts prey abundance will be higher where large carnivores are present, but this prediction assumes limited dietary over...
