Evidence of the trade-off between starvation and predation risks in ducks [PDF]
, 2011 The theory of trade-off between starvation and predation risks predicts a decrease in body mass in order to improve flight performance when facing high predation risk.

Ransomware as a Predator: Modelling the Systemic Risk to Prey
Digital Threats: Research and Practice, 2023 The accelerated pace with which companies, governments, and institutions embrace digital transformation is creating opportunities for economic prosperity, but also increases the threat landscape. Recent orchestrated cyber-attacks have revealed the unpredictability of the harm they can cause in our society, rendering the creation of new models that ...

A reassessment of the predation risk allocation hypothesis: a comment on Lima and Bednekoff [PDF]
, 2011 The predation risk allocation hypothesis was developed to provide testable predictions about the allocation of antipredator behavior between periods of high or low risk that alternate through time.

Contrast in edge vegetation structure modifies the predation risk of natural ground nests in an agricultural landscape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nest predation risk generally increases nearer forest-field edges in agricultural landscapes. However, few studies test whether differences in edge contrast (i.e.

Predators Reduce Extinction Risk in Noisy Metapopulations [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Spatial structure across fragmented landscapes can enhance regional population persistence by promoting local "rescue effects." In small, vulnerable populations, where chance or random events between individuals may have disproportionately large effects on species interactions, such local processes are particularly important.

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]
, 2013 Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...
