host-parasitoid interactions in insect communities; 4. The impact of
trait-mediated indirect interactions in marine communities; 5.
Trait-mediated indirect interactions in size-structured populations: causes
and consequences for species interactions and community dynamics; 6.
Trait-mediated effects, density dependence, and the dynamic stability of
ecological systems; 7. Plant effects on herbivore-enemy interactions in
natural systems; 8. The implications of adaptive prey behavior for
ecological communities: a review of current theory; 9. Community
consequences of phenotypic plasticity of terrestrial plants:
herbivore-initiated bottom-up trophic cascades; 10. Model-based, response
surface approaches to quantifying indirect interactions; Part II.
Coevolution: 11. Perspective: trait-mediated indirect interactions and the
coevolutionary process; 12. Evolutionary indirect effects: examples from
introduced plant and herbivore interactions; 13. Indirect evolutionary
interactions in a multi-trophic system; 14. The role of trait-mediated
indirect interactions for multispecies plant-animal mutualisms; 15.
Consequences of trait evolution in a multi-species system; Part III.
Ecosystem: 16. Perspective: interspecific indirect genetic effects (IIGEs):
linking genetics and genomics to community ecology and ecosystem processes;
17. Species functional traits, trophic control, and the ecosystem
consequences of adaptive foraging in the middle of food chains; 18. Effects
of herbivores on terrestrial ecosystem processes: the role of trait
mediated indirect effects; 19. Functional and heritable consequences of
plant genotype on community composition and ecosystem processes; 20.
Microbial mutualists and biodiversity in ecosystems; 21. Integrating
trait-mediated effects and non-trophic interactions in the study of
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning; Part IV. Applied Ecology: 22.
Perspective: consequences of trait-mediated indirect interactions for
biological control of plant pests; 23. Natural enemy functional identity,
trait-mediated interactions, and biological control; 24. Trait-mediated
effects modify patch-size density relationships in insect herbivores and
parasitoids; 25. Plasticity and trait-mediated indirect interactions among
