The capability of predators to generate behaviorally mediated indirect interactions via predation risk has been demonstrated in many ecosystems, as have multiple mechanisms responsible for such effects. However, a general framework predicting the ecological impacts of predation risk remains elusive. Barriers to such a framework include difficulty in predicting contexts under which predation risk is a dominant driver of ecosystem structure and function, as well as a limited understanding of how the role of predation risk changes across scales. Overcoming these barriers are essential to predicting the effects of predators (or their absence) in ecosystems.
