Association behavior between sand tiger sharks and round scad is driven by mesopredators

Association behavior between sand tiger sharks and round scad is driven by mesopredators Nicholas C. Coleman​, Erin J. Burge​​ ABSTRACT: In marine systems, behaviorally-mediated indirect interactions between prey, mesopredators, and higher trophic-level, large predators are less commonly investigated than other ecologic interactions, likely because of inherent difficulties associated with making observations.
