Mathematical Modelling of Predatory Prokaryotes [PDF]
, 2006 Predator–prey models have a long history in mathematical modelling of ecosystem dynamics and evolution. In this chapter an introduction to the methodology of mathematical modelling is given, with emphasis on microbial predator–prey systems, followed by a

Predator discrimination of prey promotes the predator-mediated coexistence of prey species
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The predator discrimination of prey can affect predation intensity and the prey density dependence of predators, which has the potential to alter the coexistence of prey species.

Measuring the Consequences of Rules: Holly M. Smith [PDF]
, 2010 Recently two distinct forms of rule-utilitarianism have been introduced that differ on how to measure the consequences of rules. Brad Hooker advocates fixed-rate rule-utilitarianism, while Michael Ridge advocates variable-rate rule-utilitarianism.

Optimal-foraging predator favors commensalistic Batesian mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Mimicry, in which one prey species (the Mimic) imitates the aposematic signals of another prey (the Model) to deceive their predators, has attracted the general interest of evolutionary biologists.
