A two-patch prey-predator model with dispersal in predators driven by the strength of predation [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Foraging movements of predator play an important role in population dynamics of prey-predator interactions, which have been considered as mechanisms that contribute to spatial self-organization of prey and predator. In nature, there are many examples of prey-predator interactions where prey is immobile while predator disperses between patches non ...

Intraguild predation among aphidophagous predators [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
Since the publication of papers by Polis et al. (1989, 1992), intraguild predation (IGP) has been considered in numerous systems and a growing number of papers have been published, demonstrating the ubiquity and the importance of this interaction. It appears that aphidophagous guilds constitute especially favourable systems for IGP.

Archetype models upscale understanding of natural pest control response to land‐use change

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Control of crop pests by shifting host plant availability and natural enemy activity at landscape scales has great potential to enhance the sustainability of agriculture. However, mainstreaming natural pest control requires improved understanding of how its benefits can be realized across a variety of agroecological contexts. Empirical studies

Trait‐mediated indirect effect involving a chain of learning in agroecosystems

Ecosphere
An increase in predation risk triggers a trait response of prey, which alters the interactions between the prey and other species, ultimately affecting other species in the ecosystem.

Pangenome Analysis of the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae Reveals Unique Natural Products for Niche Adaptation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Pseudomonas syringae is a soil‐dwelling bacterium that exhibits remarkable niche adaptability and it is known for its devastating impact as a plant pathogen. This bacterium has an outstanding capability to produce a wide array of biologically active natural products. P.

Rarity begets rarity: Social and environmental drivers of rare organisms in cities

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cities are sometimes characterized as homogenous with species assemblages composed of abundant, generalist species having similar ecological functions. Under this assumption, rare species, or species observed infrequently, would have especially high conservation value in cities for their potential to increase functional diversity.

Daphnia body size and population dynamics under predation by invertebrate and fish predators in Lago Maggiore: an approach based on contribution analysis

Journal of Limnology, 2008
Predation on Daphnia is size-specific: while zooplanktivorous fish select large, ovigerous females, carrying larger clutches, predation by invertebrates, particularly Cladocera, is generally regarded as acting mainly on young, small, non-ovigerous ...

Sensitive predators and endurant preys in an ecosystem driven by correlated noises [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
We investigate the Volterra ecosystem driven by correlated noises. The competition of the predators induces an increasing in population density of the predators. The competition of the preys, however, leads the predators to decay. The predators may have better stability under strong correlated noises.

Functional Ambidexterity of an Ancient Nucleic Acid‐Binding Domain

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
The helix‐hairpin‐helix (HhH) motif is an ancient and ubiquitous nucleic acid‐binding element that has emerged as a model system for studying the evolution of dsDNA‐binding domains from simple peptides that phase separate with RNA. We analyzed the entire putative evolutionary trajectory of the HhH motif – from a flexible peptide to a folded domain ...
