Predator-prey interactions shape thermal patch use in a newt larvae-dragonfly nymph model.

Thermal quality and predation risk are considered important factors influencing habitat patch use in ectothermic prey. However, how the predator's food requirement and the prey's necessity to avoid predation interact with their respective thermoregulatory strategies remains poorly understo...
