Predator biodiversity increases the survivorship of juvenile predators
Oecologia, 2011When predator biodiversity strengthens herbivore suppression, the pattern generally is attributed to interspecific complementarity. However, the relaxation of intraspecific interference within diverse communities has received less attention as an underlying factor, and most experiments to date span much less than one predator generation.

Predator-prey interactions: egg-eating predators
Mathematical Biosciences, 1982Abstract This manuscript is intended to provide further insight into the dynamics of predator-prey interactions in which the predator population feeds on the eggs of the prey population. Reasons are provided for the results shown in a previous article.

Predating predators: An experimental study [PDF]
, 2001 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.

Chapter 11 Predators and predation
2001Publisher Summary Most field predation studies on hard clams, Mercenaria mercenaria , focuses on elucidating information for aquaculture activities and involves manipulative experiments with some form of protection. The control conditions for these studies are used to examine some ecological relationships, but the plots are seeded at relatively high

PREDATORS COME AND PREDATORS GO: THE REVERSIBILITY OF PREDATOR-INDUCED TRAITS
Ecology, 2003While numerous studies have been conducted on the ecology and evolution of phenotypic plasticity, to really understand plasticity we need to expose organisms to different environments over several ontogenetic stages. In this way, we can examine whether organisms change their phenotypic strategy over ontogeny, whether there are developmental windows ...
