Species richness and the proportion of predatory animal species in temporary freshwater pools: relationships with habitat size and permanence

The proportion of predatory animal species is often believed not to vary systematically across communities. However, we predict that larger temporary freshwater pools, and pools that are more permanent, will contain a higher proportion of predatory animal species. In 24 temporary rockpools in Northe...
