SEXUAL PREDATORS

open access: yesPsychiatric Clinics of North America, 1999
Social responses to sex-offending behaviors have included criminal sanctions and clinical interventions that have evolved over time. These developments have created various challenges for mental health professionals charged with providing care to offenders, particularly when legislative expectations have exceeded available treatments.

Diel timing of nest predation changes across breeding season in a subtropical shorebird

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Predation is the most common cause of nest failure in birds. While nest predation is relatively well studied in general, our knowledge is unevenly distributed across the globe and taxa, with, for example, limited information on shorebirds breeding in ...

Predating Predators

open access: yes, 2005
Predating predators requires at least three specimen to which we refer as players 1, 2, and 3. Player 1 has simply to guess nature when trying to find food. Player 2 is hunting player 1 in the hope that 1 is well-fed but must also avoid being hunted by player 3.

Rat snakes, cowbirds, and vines lower passerine nest survival in remnant bottomland hardwood forests in east-central Arkansas, USA

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
Predation is often the leading cause of nest failure among passerines; however, specific causes are often unknown or can be misidentified in the field.

Predation domes: In‐situ field assays to measure predatory behaviours by fish

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biotic interactions such as predation are difficult ecological processes to quantify in the wild. This is especially the case in the marine environment due to logistical difficulties in capturing animal behaviour.

Nest Predation Pressure Differs Between Urban Ground- and Hole-Nesting Birds: Evidence from a Multi-Year Artificial Nest Predation Experiment

open access: yesBirds
Urbanization changes the environment through physical constructions, disturbances, and altered resource availability. These modifications influence both prey and predator assemblages.

Identification of predation events in wild fish using novel acoustic transmitters

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2020
Background Acoustic telemetry is a commonly used tool to gain knowledge about aquatic animal ecology through the study of their movements. In telemetry studies researchers must make inferences regarding the movements and the fates of tagged animals ...

Maternal predator‐exposure affects offspring size at birth but not telomere length in a live‐bearing fish

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
The perception of predation risk could affect prey phenotype both within and between generations (via parental effects). The response to predation risk could involve modifications in physiology, morphology, and behavior and can ultimately affect long ...

Field margins enhance weed seed predation in adjacent fields in early spring

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy, 2023
Seed depletion by granivorous organisms can regulate weeds in arable agriculture. Enhancing this regulation can be achieved by adopting farming practices that favour seed predators.

Species‐ and origin‐specific susceptibility to bird predation among juvenile salmonids

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Juvenile salmonids often experience high mortality rates during migration and bird predation is a common source of mortality. Research suggests that hatchery‐reared salmonids are more prone to predation than wild salmonids, and that Atlantic salmon ...
