Prey choice by a freshwater copepod on larval Aedes mosquitoes in the presence of alternative prey

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2021
Predator-prey interactions can have a significant impact on the abundance and distribution of species, but the outcome of these interactions is often context-dependent. In small freshwater habitats, predacious copepods are potential biological control agents for mosquito larvae.

Alternative extraguild prey modifies focal extraguild prey consumption and parasitism but not intraguild predation intensity

Biological Control, 2021
Abstract Intraguild predation (IGP) refers to the predation of species that use similar resources and are, therefore, potential competitors. The consuming predator is known as the intraguild predator (IG-predator) and the predator or parasitoid being consumed as the intraguild prey (IG-prey).

Extirpation of alternative prey during a small rodent crash

Oecologia, 1992
We document two episodes, in different years, of Barn Owls (Tyto alba) preying on a winter population of Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) on a southern California island. The predation in each case followed a marked shift in the diet of the Barn Owls, due to the cyclic decline of their normal small mammal prey.

A modified Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with alternative food and selective predation of noninfected prey

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2020
Infectious diseases affect prey populations, and predators choosing susceptible prey may lead to the extinction of the prey population. We propose a mathematical model of prey–predator interaction with the prey population divided into two classes: susceptible and infected.
