Why do vulnerable mayflies thrive in trout streams?
Abstract
higher densities in streams with the highest risk of vertebrate predation. Along with many students and other colleagues, we have spent many years trying to understand that perplexing pattern. Adaptive behavior and life history strategies that can be induced experimentally by predator risk result in equivalent probabilities of surviving the larval stage, but do not explain the high relative abundance of Baetis populations in streams -
