Attraction and Avoidance between Predators and Prey at Wildlife Crossings on Roads

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Wildlife passages are currently built at roads and railway lines to re-establish connectivity. However, little is known about whether predator-prey interactions may reduce the effectiveness of the crossing structures.

Modeling and Analysis of Predator-Prey Model with Fear Effect in Prey and Hunting Cooperation among Predators and Harvesting

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2022
In this paper, we present and analyze predator-prey system where prey population is linearly harvested and affected by fear and the prey population has grown logistically in the absence of predators.

Prey and predator density‐dependent interactions under different water volumes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Predation is a critical ecological process that directly and indirectly mediates population stabilities, as well as ecosystem structure and function. The strength of interactions between predators and prey may be mediated by multiple density dependences ...

Dynamical study of the theta-logistic predator-prey model incorporating gregarious behavior of prey

open access: yesMathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2023
Relation between species and their livelihood environment in ecological systems is very complex. For that reason, in order to study predator-prey  relations, modeling is essential in biomathematics.

Influence of habitat complexity on the prey mortality in IGP system involving insect predators (Heteroptera) and prey (Diptera): Implications in biological control.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Intraguild predation (IGP) is common in the freshwater insect communities, involving a top predator, intraguild prey (IG prey) and a shared prey. Influence of the habitat complexity on the prey-predator interactions is well established through several ...

Evolutionary Diversification of Prey and Predator Species Facilitated by Asymmetric Interactions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
We investigate the influence of asymmetric interactions on coevolutionary dynamics of a predator-prey system by using the theory of adaptive dynamics.

The behavioral response of prey fish to predators: the role of predator size [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Predation is one of the key factors governing patterns in natural systems, and adjustments of prey behaviors in response to a predator stimulus can have important ecological implications for wild fish.

Invasion of a stream food web by a new top predator. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
PhDA large predator, the nymph of the dragonfly Cordulegaster boltonii (Anisoptera) (Donovan), has recently invaded Broadstone Stream, an acid headwater in southern England.

Prey–predator optimal harvesting mathematical model in the presence of toxic prey under interval uncertainty

open access: yesScientific African, 2023
This paper explores a multispecies prey–predator harvesting system based on Lotka–Volterra model with two preys (palatable and toxic prey) and one predator with interval biological parameters.

Invertebrate attack rates in crop fields are driven by prey toughness rather than size

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology
Insect pests vary in size and toughness across species and life stages, and are attacked to varying degrees by different predators. Feeding experiments suggest that both prey and predator (e.g. carabid) traits shape these predator–prey interactions. Here,
