Predation drives complex eco-evolutionary dynamics in sexually selected traits.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Predation plays a role in preventing the evolution of ever more complicated sexual displays, because such displays often increase an individual's predation risk.

Reciprocal intraguild predation and predator coexistence [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractIntraguild predation is a mix of competition and predation and occurs when one species feeds on another species that uses similar resources. Theory predicts that intraguild predation hampers coexistence of species involved, but it is common in nature.

Downstream Economic Implications of Predation in the South African Red Meat Industry
Frontiers in Sustainability, 2022 Globally, predation is an important and ongoing problem facing the livestock sector. This study estimated the downstream economic impact of predation in the South African red meat industry using a recent South African Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a

Predators avoiding predation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 The notion of stealthy predation often invokes images of a predator hiding and waiting to ambush its unsuspecting prey. In this issue of PNAS, Manicom et al. (1) offer an alternative reason why predators hide that involves an important tradeoff between capturing prey and seeking refuge to avoid their own demise from other predator species.

High trees increase sunflower seed predation by birds in an agricultural landscape of Israel
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Natural habitats in agricultural landscapes promote agro-ecosystem services but little is known about negative effects (dis-services) derived by natural habitats such as crop seed predation.

Coping with shifting nest predation refuges by European reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Predation, the most important source of nest mortality in altricial birds, has been a subject of numerous studies during past decades. However, the temporal dynamics between changing predation pressures and parental responses remain poorly understood. We

Factors that influence Cape fur seal predation on Cape gannets at Lambert’s Bay, South Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Seabird populations experience predation that can impact their breeding density and breeding success. The Cape gannet Morus capensis is endemic to the Benguela upwelling ecosystem and is classified as Endangered by the IUCN.
