Attraction and Avoidance between Predators and Prey at Wildlife Crossings on Roads
Diversity, 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.

The Combined Effects of Warming and Body Size on the Stability of Predator-Prey Interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Environmental temperature and body size are two prominent drivers of predation. Despite the ample evidence of their independent effects, the combined impact of temperature and predator-prey body size ratio on the strength and stability of trophic ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Climate changes affect the distribution and abundance of organisms, often via changes in species interactions. Most animals experience predation, and a number of models have investigated how climate fluctuations can influence predator–prey dynamics by ...

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

Acoustic mimicry in a predator–prey interaction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Mimicry of visual warning signals is one of the keystone concepts in evolutionary biology and has received substantial research attention. By comparison, acoustic mimicry has never been rigorously tested. Visualizing bat–moth interactions with high-speed, infrared videography, we provide empirical evidence for acoustic mimicry in the ultrasonic warning

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 ...

Predator-Prey Interactions in Ciliated Protists
, 2021 Protists appeared relatively early in evolution, about 1.8 billion years ago, soon after the first prokaryotic organisms. During this time period, most species developed a variety of behavioral, morphological, and physiological strategies intended to improve the ability to capture prey or to avoid predation.
