The Colony Predation Algorithm
Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2021 This paper proposes a new stochastic optimizer called the Colony Predation Algorithm (CPA) based on the corporate predation of animals in nature.

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2023 Selecting optimal locations for mussel farming is vital for the optimization of production yield and for the minimization of environmental impact. Although predation by sea ducks may induce large stock losses and hence severe economic loss for mussel ...

The Predation Strategy of Myxococcus xanthus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Myxobacteria are ubiquitous in soil environments. They display a complex life cycle: vegetatively growing cells coordinate their motility to form multicellular swarms, which upon starvation aggregate into large fruiting bodies where cells differentiate ...

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.

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.

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.

Biological Reviews, 2020 ABSTRACTCamouflage – adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition – is a key example of evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal behaviour. Most work has focused on camouflage as an anti‐predator adaptation. However, predators also display specific colours, patterns and behaviours that reduce

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.

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
