Demonstrating That Habitat Structure Facilitates Coexistence of Prey & Predator: A Laboratory Investigation Using Goldfish & Invertebrates.
Stewart, Timothy W.; Embrey, Tracey R.
American Biology Teacher, v65 n4 p292-97 Apr 2003
Presents a laboratory investigation to demonstrate that habitat structure promotes increased organism abundance and species diversity by reducing predator effects on prey abundance. Investigates the effects of goldfish (Carassius auratus) predators on Gammarus sp. (an amphipod) and Daphnia magna (a cladoceran) prey in the absence and presence of a habitat structure created by stones and ceramic tiles. (Author/SOE)
