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.

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

Higher predation risk for insect prey at low latitudes and elevations
Science, 2017 Risky in the tropics It is well known that diversity increases toward the tropics. Whether this increase translates into differences in interaction rates among species, however, remains unclear. To simplify the problem, Roslin et al. tested for predation

Spatiotemporal analysis of predation by carabid beetles (Carabidae) on nematode infected and uninfected slugs in the field. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The dynamics of predation on parasites within prey has received relatively little attention despite the profound effects this is likely to have on both prey and parasite numbers and hence on biological control programmes where parasites are employed. The

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

Identification of predation events in wild fish using novel acoustic transmitters
Animal 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 ...

Psychiatric 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.

Anthropogenic noise increases fish mortality by predation
Nature Communications, 2016 Noise-generating human activities affect hearing, communication and movement in terrestrial and aquatic animals, but direct evidence for impacts on survival is rare.

, 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.
