Fear of large carnivores causes a trophic cascade

Top predators may indirectly influence ecological processes through fear-induced behavioural changes in their prey. By experimentally manipulating this ‘landscape of fear’, Suraci et al. show that fear of large carnivores in a mesopredator can cause cascading effects down the food web that benefit i...
