Prey switching with a linear preference trade-off [PDF]
, 2013 In ecology, prey switching refers to a predator's adaptive change of habitat or diet in response to prey abundance. In this paper, we study piecewise-smooth models of predator-prey interactions with a linear trade-off in a predator's prey preference.

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
, 2010 To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Alternative prey: a mechanism for elimination of bacterial species by protozoa [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983 Antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Klebsiella pneumoniae died readily after their addition to raw sewage, but they grew in sterilized sewage. The decline was not a result of abiotic stresses, and because the bacteria were able to survive in large numbers for at least 15 days in solutions containing no organic nutrients, it was ...

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

Omnivory by planktivores stabilizes plankton dynamics, but may either promote or reduce algal biomass [PDF]
, 2010 Classical models of phytoplankton–zooplankton interaction show that with nutrient enrichment such systems may abruptly shift from limit cycles to stable phytoplankton domination due to zooplankton predation by planktivorous fish.

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

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

Predatory Encounters of Yllenus Arenarius (Araneae, Salticidae) with Flies (Diptera) [PDF]
, 2010 Predatory behaviour of Yllenus arenarius hunting flies (Diptera) was studied. The general spider's approach and capture was typical for salticids hunting prey that has high ability to escape. Two modes of approach in close proximity of prey were observed.
