Predator-Prey in Tumor-Immune Interactions: A Wrong Model or Just an Incomplete One?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Tumor-immune interactions are often framed as predator-prey. This imperfect analogy describes how immune cells (the predators) hunt and kill immunogenic tumor cells (the prey).

The hunter and the hunted-A 3D analysis of predator-prey interactions between three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and larvae of different prey fishes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Predator-prey interactions play a key life history role, as animals cope with changing predation risk and opportunities to hunt prey. It has recently been shown that the hunting success of sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) targeting fish larvae is ...

Commercial fishing amplifies impacts of increasing temperature on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPredator-prey interactions determine food web structure, energy flux, and ecosystem stability. Increasing temperatures and commercial fishing both alter body size distributions that underpin predator-prey interactions, but empirical evidence of their ...

Predator–prey interactions in the canopy [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Small mammal abundances are frequently limited by resource availability, but predators can exert strong lethal (mortality) and nonlethal (e.g., nest abandonment) limitations.

Early Bird Special: Quantifying Tiger Shark Predation on Albatross Fledglings at Kure Atoll [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredator–prey interactions can be structured by predictable seasonal pulses in prey availability, yet direct evidence of temporal dynamics of predator presence, prey availability, and predation success remains scarce in marine systems.

Derivation of Predator Functional Responses Using a Mechanistic Approach in a Natural System
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The functional response is at the core of any predator-prey interactions as it establishes the link between trophic levels. The use of inaccurate functional response can profoundly affect the outcomes of population and community models.
