Predating Predators

, 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

Avian 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.

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 ...

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

Methods 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.

Protist predation can favour cooperation within bacterial species [PDF]

, 2013
Here, we studied how protist predation affects cooperation in the opportunistic pathogen bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which uses quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling to regulate the production of public goods.

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

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

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

Frontiers 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.

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

Ecology 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 ...
