Abstract - They note that, for approximately half of their studies, the original study’s authors, or both claimed that the responses were hydra effects; this is because most used the correct definition. Schroder’s own empirical study in Table 2 exhibits a clear hydra effect in response to juvenile mortality. SVC ignore natural enemies as mortality factors.
However, decreased foraging in to increased predation risk readily hydra effects. It has shown to common and to often increase the prey’s food intake rate because of greater resource abundance.
