evolutionary time across the globe (Menge and Lub-chenco 1981, Albouy et al. 2019, Silvestro et al. 2020). Although evidence continues to accrue in support of the prediction that predation intensity is stronger at lower latitudes (e.g., Schemske et al. 2009, Roslin et al. 2017, Reynolds et al. 2018), debate on its generality persists (Roesti et al. 2020). Further, variation in predation ...
