Predator and prey functional traits: understanding the adaptive machinery driving predator–prey interactions [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
Predator–prey relationships are a central component of community dynamics. Classic approaches have tried to understand and predict these relationships in terms of consumptive interactions between predator and prey species, but characterizing the ...

Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2018
The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or more

Fire as a driver and mediator of predator–prey interactions

open access: yesBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022
Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire.

Beyond spatial overlap: harnessing new technologies to resolve the complexities of predator–prey interactions

open access: yesOikos, 2022
Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and environmental conditions, yet attempts to understand predation risk in ...

Pattern formation in diffusive predator-prey systems with predator-taxis and prey-taxis

open access: yesDiscrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems - B, 2021
A reaction-diffusion predator-prey system with prey-taxis and predator-taxis describes the spatial interaction and random movement of predator and prey species, as well as the spatial movement of predators pursuing prey and prey evading predators.

Dynamics and pattern formation in diffusive predator-prey models with predator-taxis

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2020
We consider a three-species predator-prey system in which the predator has a stage structure and the prey moves to avoid the mature predator, which is called the predator-taxis.

Stability Analysis and Numerical Computation of the Fractional Predator–Prey Model with the Harvesting Rate

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2020
In this work, a fractional predator-prey model with the harvesting rate is considered. Besides the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the model, local stability and global stability are experienced.

Change in prey genotype frequency rescues predator from extinction

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
Indirect evolutionary rescue (IER) is a mechanism where a non-evolving species is saved from extinction in an otherwise lethal environment by evolution in an interacting species.

Combining impact of velocity, fear and refuge for the predator–prey dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics, 2023
We develop a deterministic predator–prey compartmental model to investigate the impact of their velocities on their interactions. Prey hides in a refuge area and comes out of this area when predation pressure declines.

Go big or … don't? A field-based diet evaluation of freshwater piscivore and prey fish size relationships. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Body size governs predator-prey interactions, which in turn structure populations, communities, and food webs. Understanding predator-prey size relationships is valuable from a theoretical perspective, in basic research, and for management applications ...
