PLoS ONE, 2019 Nest predation studies often use artificial nests to secure sample sizes and nest distribution patterns that allow empirically testing differences in predation rates between ecological units of interest.

Does predation risk affect mating behavior? An experimental test in dumpling squid (Euprymna tasmanica). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 One of the most important trade-offs for many animals is that between survival and reproduction. This is particularly apparent when mating increases the risk of predation, either by increasing conspicuousness, reducing mobility or inhibiting an ...

Leptotyphlops Australis (NCN): Predation [PDF]
, 2010 Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) are known to include snakes and other reptiles in their diet (König et al. 1999. Owls: A Guide to the Owls of the World. Yale Univ. Press, New Haven, Connecticut. 462 pp.).

Turbidity influences individual and group level responses to predation in guppies, Poecilia reticulata [PDF]
, 2015 © 2015 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Increasing turbidity (either sedimentary or organic) from anthropogenic sources has significant negative impacts on aquatic fauna, both directly and indirectly by disrupting behaviour.

Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Predation is a powerful selection pressure that shapes predator–prey interactions. Due to long-term interactions, moths have developed hearing to detect the echolocation calls of bats.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Local outbreaks of Operophtera brumata and Operophtera fagata cannot be explained by low vulnerability to pupal predation [PDF]
, 2013 One of the unresolved questions in studies on population dynamics of forest Lepidoptera is why some populations at times reach outbreak densities, whereas others never do.

Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum for Image Analysis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum (SHWB), a rotation‐ and translation‐invariant descriptor that captures higher‐order (phase) correlations in signals, is introduced. Combining wavelet scattering, bispectral analysis, and group theory, SHWB achieves interpretable, data‐efficient representations and demonstrates competitive performance across texture,
