Predation risk shapes social networks in fission-fusion populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Predation risk is often associated with group formation in prey, but recent advances in methods for analysing the social structure of animal societies make it possible to quantify the effects of risk on the complex dynamics of spatial and temporal ...

Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredation risk for depleted prey populations is known to be influenced by prey abundance. However, predation risk may also be influenced by the abundance of sympatric prey species, particularly when the sympatric species is abundant.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Extensive research confirms that abiotic stressors like predation risk can profoundly affect animal condition. However, there is a lack of experimental research assessing the suite of physiological responses to risk.

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 ...

Severe Conservation Risks of Roads on Apex Predators [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Abstract The global expansion of road networks threatens apex predator conservation and ecosystem functioning. This occurs through wildlife-vehicle collisions, habitat loss and fragmentation, reduced genetic connectivity and increased poaching. We reviewed road impacts on 36 apex predator species and created a new index to assess their current ...

Predation risk affects growth and reproduction of an invasive snail and its lethal effect depends on prey size. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The behavior of invasive species under predation risk has been studied extensively, but their growth and reproductive responses have rarely been investigated.

Sheep predation: Characteristics and risk factors [PDF]
Small Ruminant Research, 2012 Abstract Predation has always been an important problem in extensive sheep farms, causing serious economic losses to the farmers. Official predation reports have recently been decreasing in the District of Pisa, in spite of the presence of two wolf packs in the area.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Predation influences prey survival and drives evolution of anti-predator behaviour. Anti-predator strategies by prey are stimulated by direct encounters with predators, but also by exposure to indicators of risk such as moonlight illumination and ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Predation risk affects the costs and benefits of prey life-history decisions. Predation threat is often higher during reproduction, especially in conspicuous colonial breeders.

Introduced mammalian predators induce behavioural changes in parental care in an endemic New Zealand bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The introduction of predatory mammals to oceanic islands has led to the extinction of many endemic birds. Although introduced predators should favour changes that reduce predation risk in surviving bird species, the ability of island birds to respond to ...
