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

A sufficient condition on successful invasion by the predator [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition on successful invasion by the predator. Specially, we obtain the persistence of traveling wave solutions of predator-prey system, in which the predator can survive without the predation of the prey. This proof heavily depends on comparison principle of scalar monostable equation, the rescaling method and

Optimising low-Reynolds-number predation via optimal control and reinforcement learning [PDF]
, 2022 We seek the best stroke sequences of a finite-size swimming predator chasing a non-motile point or finite--size prey at low Reynolds number. We use optimal control to seek the globally-optimal solutions for the former and RL for general situations. The predator is represented by a squirmer model that can translate forward and laterally, rotate and ...

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.

Interactions between predation and resources shape zooplankton population dynamics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Identifying the relative importance of predation and resources in population dynamics has a long tradition in ecology, while interactions between them have been studied less intensively.

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.

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 ...

Selective Predation of a Stalking Predator on Ungulate Prey
PLOS ONE, 2016 Prey selection is a key factor shaping animal populations and evolutionary dynamics. An optimal forager should target prey that offers the highest benefits in terms of energy content at the lowest costs. Predators are therefore expected to select for prey of optimal size. Stalking predators do not pursue their prey long, which may lead to a more random

Bacterial predation: 75 years and counting!
Environmental Microbiology, 2016 The first documented study on bacterial predation was carried out using myxobacteria three quarters of a century ago. Since then, many predatory strains, diverse hunting strategies, environmental consequences and potential applications have been reported
