Predation, one of the most dramatic interactions in animals' lives,
has long fascinated ecologists.
This volume presents carnivores, raptors and their prey in the
complicated net of interrelationships, and shows them against the
background of their biotic and abiotic settings. It is based on
long-term research conducted in the best preserved woodland of
Europe's temperate zone. The role of predation, whether limiting or
regulating prey (ungulate, rodent, shrew, bird, and amphibian)
populations, is quantified and compared to parts played by other
factors: climate, food resources for prey, and availability of
other potential resources for predators.
