- Abstract:
- New methodological advances are required to estimate changes in the prevalence of Intra Guild Predation in relation to prey abundance and to start exploring its dynamic implications. This project will establish and verify the use of amino acid specific stable isotope enrichments in dietary reconstruction in a guild of predators in an ecosystem dominated by the cyclic fluctuations of field voles. We will characterise the trophic relationships between most vertebrate members of the forest ecosystem and start testing specific hypotheses on the potential for IGP to modify the amplitude and delayed nature of the numerical responses of vole predators (weasel, tawny owl and kestrel), which are likely to influence vole dynamics.
