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 ...

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.

Collective Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems: How Predator Confusion Shapes Swarm-Like Behaviors [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Popular hypotheses about the origins of collective adaptation are related to two basic behaviours: protection from predators and a combined search for food resources. Among the anti-predator explanations, the predator confusion hypothesis suggests that groups of individuals moving in a swarm aim to overwhelm the predator while the dilution of risk ...

Global pattern of nest predation is disrupted by climate change in shorebirds
Science, 2018 No longer a safe haven Many biological patterns have a latitudinal component. One long-recognized pattern is that predation rates are higher at lower latitudes.

A dominant predator, a predator, and a prey
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2008 A two-predator, one-prey model in which one predator interferes significantly with the other predator is analyzed. The dominant predator is harvested and the other predator has an alternative food source. The response functions used are Holling type II and they are predator-dependent and include the effects of interference.

Predation of eggs and incubating females in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus
Fauna NorvegicaNest predation is a major cause of reproductive loss in many ground-nesting birds. During 15 consecutive years the predation of nests and females throughout the incubation season were recorded in a willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

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.

Small predators dominate fish predation in coral reef communities.
PLoS Biology, 2022 Ecosystem processes are challenging to quantify at a community level, particularly within complex ecosystems (e.g., rainforests, coral reefs). Predation is one of the most important types of species interactions, determining several ecosystem processes ...

Impact of wild prey availability on livestock predation by snow leopards
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 An increasing proportion of the world's poor is rearing livestock today, and the global livestock population is growing. Livestock predation by large carnivores and their retaliatory killing is becoming an economic and conservation concern.
