Diversity, 2023 The White-tailed eagle, an apex predator, is currently recovering its populations across Europe and has already reached high numbers in many countries. This led to the saturation of eagles in optimal habitats and their encroachment on suboptimal ones. We

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]
, 2016 Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

Alternative prey impedes the efficacy of a natural enemy of mosquitoes
Biological control (Print), 2020 Adaptive foraging behaviour in the presence of multiple prey types may mediate stability to predator-prey relationships. For biological control agents, the presence of alternative prey may thus reduce ecological impacts towards target organisms ...

Non-Metaphysical Realism: A Dummett-Inspired Implementation of Putnam’s Internal Realism [PDF]
, 2014 The amount of realist positions put forward by philosophers of religion and theologians is impressive. one can certainly doubt whether there is a need for yet another alternative.

Seasonal Consumptive Demand and Prey Use by Stocked Saugeyes in Ohio Reservoirs [PDF]
, 2006 Community structure and species composition may be strongly influenced by predator-prey interactions resulting from and leading to episodes of population abundance or scarcity. We quantified diets of stocked saugeyes (female walleye Sander vitreus × male

Response of pumas (Puma concolor) to migration of their primary prey in Patagonia.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Large-scale ungulate migrations result in changes in prey availability for top predators and, as a consequence, can alter predator behavior. Migration may include entire populations of prey species, but often prey populations exhibit partial migration ...

When is general wariness favored in avoiding multiple predator types? [PDF]
, 2012 Free access to article and electronic appendices via DOI.Adaptive responses to predation are generally studied assuming only one predator type exists, but most prey species are depredated by multiple types.

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 One of the factors affecting the effectiveness of predatory coccinellids in an aphid infested crop is the food specificity of the predator. The response towards six species of aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) was therefore tested in one of the most ...

The conflict interaction between two complex systems. Cyclic migration [PDF]
, 2008 We construct and study a discrete time model describing the conflict interaction between two complex systems with non-trivial internal structures. The external conflict interaction is based on the model of alternative interaction between a pair of non ...
