Plant species composition alters the sign and strength of an emergent multi-predator effect by modifying predator foraging behaviour [PDF]
, 2013 The prediction of pest-control functioning by multi-predator communities is hindered by the non-additive nature of species functioning. Such non-additivity, commonly termed an emergent multi-predator effect, is known to be affected by elements of the ...

Elevated CO2 affects predator-prey interactions through altered performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recent research has shown that exposure to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) affects how fishes perceive their environment, affecting behavioral and cognitive processes leading to increased prey mortality.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Predator-prey interactions are complex ecological interactions that influence community structure and function. Predators affect prey density directly by consuming and removing prey from the environment. Additionally, predators can elicit non-consumptive

Preference and prey switching in a generalist predator attacking local and invasive alien pests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Invasive pest species may strongly affect biotic interactions in agro-ecosystems. The ability of generalist predators to prey on new invasive pests may result in drastic changes in the population dynamics of local pest species owing to predator-mediated ...

Rethinking trophic niches: Speed and body mass colimit prey space of mammalian predators
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Realized trophic niches of predators are often characterized along a one‐dimensional range in predator–prey body mass ratios. This prey range is constrained by an “energy limit” and a “subdue limit” toward small and large prey, respectively.

Invasion of a stream food web by a new top predator. [PDF]
, 1999 PhDA large predator, the nymph of the dragonfly Cordulegaster boltonii (Anisoptera) (Donovan), has recently invaded Broadstone Stream, an acid headwater in southern England.

Warning signals and predator-prey coevolution
, 2004 Theories of the evolution of warning signals are typically expressed using analytic and computational models, most of which attribute aspects of predator psychology as the key factors facilitating the evolution of warning signals.

Predator–prey interaction in insects and arachnids: a chemical ecology perspective
Academia Environmental Sciences and SustainabilityAnimals emit distinctive semiochemicals—chemical substances that mediate interactions between organisms—and many of them have evolved means to detect and respond to these chemicals emitted by others.

Modelling encounter rates and distribution of mobile predators and prey [PDF]
, 2009 Marine ecosystem models often contain modules for two phytoplankton compartments (flagellates and diatoms) and two zooplankton groups (micro- and mesozooplankton).
