Predator-Induced Changes in Metabolism Cannot Explain the Growth/Predation Risk Tradeoff
PLoS ONE, 2009 Defence against predators is usually accompanied by declining rates of growth or development. The classical growth/predation risk tradeoff assumes reduced activity as the cause of these declines. However, in many cases these costs cannot be explained by reduced foraging effort or enhanced allocation to defensive structures under predation risk.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom
Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.

Spatial and temporal patterns of carabid activity-density in cereals do not explain levels of predation on weed seeds [PDF]
, 2008 Seed predation is an important component of seed mortality of weeds in agro-ecosystems, but the agronomic use and management of this natural weed suppression is hampered by a lack of insight in the underlying ecological processes.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective To identify autoantibodies in presymptomatic individuals that associate with the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to distinguish early RA from osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in individuals lacking classic RA serologic markers. Methods We analyzed serum and plasma from three cohorts: presymptomatic individuals who later developed RA ...

Cancer in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Associations and Prognostic Impact From the EUSTAR Registry
Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Cancer represents a major cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti‐RNA polymerase III (POLR3)–positive disease, needing further exploration. Methods We performed a nested case‐control study within the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group ...

Fish predation on a landscape scale
Ecosphere, 2020 Predator–prey dynamics can have landscape‐level impacts on ecosystems, and yet, spatial patterns and environmental predictors of predator–prey dynamics are often investigated at discrete locations, limiting our understanding of the broader impacts.
