Temporal patterns of main and alternative prey deliveries at a Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) nest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Prey switching is an important part of predator feeding and breeding ecology since prey populations and therefore prey availability is dynamic. Deliveries of prey made by the Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) breeding in a nest box in southern Norway,

Biodiversity vs. biocontrol: positive and negative effects of alternative prey on control of slugs by carabid beetles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Environment-friendly farming techniques seek to increase invertebrate biodiversity in part with the intention of encouraging greater numbers of predators that will help to control crop pests.

Multitrophic interactions among plants, aphids, alternate prey and shared natural enemies - a review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
Given the generalist tendencies of most predatory arthropods, it is widely thought that their impact on a particular prey species in a given habitat (e.g., an insect pest in a crop) will depend frequently on the local availability of other prey (which ...

Plant Resources as a Factor Altering Emergent Multi-Predator Effects. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Multiple predator effects (MPEs) can modify the strength of pest regulation, causing positive or negative deviations from those that are predicted from independent effects of isolated predators.

Optimal foraging predators in Leslie Gower models with alternative prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceOptimal foraging theory defines the diet choice of a predator by imposing that it chooses the prey that is instantaneously the most beneficial for him [1].

Crown-of-thorns starfish larvae are vulnerable to predation even in the presence of alternative prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Many predators reported to feed on crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) are generalist and opportunistic feeders. However, research into predation on CoTS tends to examine these predator–prey interactions in isolation, and it remains unknown

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Trophic niche divergence among colour morphs that exhibit alternative mating tactics [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
Discrete colour morphs associated with alternative mating tactics are assumed to be ecologically equivalent. Yet suites of behaviours linked with reproduction can also favour habitat segregation and exploitation of different prey among morphs.

A Bayesian approach to modelling field data on multi-species predator prey-interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Multi-species functional response models are required to model the predation of generalist preda- tors, which consume more than one prey species. In chapter 2, a new model for the multi-species functional response is presented.
