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 ...

Prey body size mediates the predation risk associated with being "odd" [PDF]
, 2014 Despite selection pressures on prey animals to maintain phenotypically homogeneous groups, variation in phenotype within animal groups is commonly observed.

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.

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

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 ...

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.

De novo origins of multicellularity in response to predation
Scientific Reports, 2018 The transition from unicellular to multicellular life was one of a few major events in the history of life that created new opportunities for more complex biological systems to evolve.
