Predator caging experiments: a test of the importance of scale
Journal Article
Fernandes, T. F., Huxham, M., & Piper, S. R. (1999)
Predator caging experiments: a test of the importance of scale. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 241(1), (137-154). doi:10.1016/s0022-0981(99)00076-3. ISSN 0022-0981
