Most theory in ecology simply assumes that predators eat prey, end of story. The real world is more complicated. But it's not so complicated that we can't get to the bottom of it." ...

A lush savannah teeming with zebras, gazelles and buffalo may look like an all-you-can eat buffet for lions. But a new Canadian study has revealed a surprise: When prey abound, there are ...
