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.

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).

Size-dependent functional response of Xenopus laevis feeding on mosquito larvae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Predators can play an important role in regulating prey abundance and diversity, determining food web structure and function, and contributing to important ecosystem services, including the regulation of agricultural pests and disease vectors.

Geometric factors influencing the diet of vertebrate predators in marine and terrestrial environments [PDF]
, 2014 Predator–prey relationships are vital to ecosystem function and there is a need for greater predictive understanding of these interactions. We develop a geometric foraging model predicting minimum prey size scaling in marine and terrestrial vertebrate ...

Trophic interactions between primary consumers appear to weaken during periods of synchrony
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Our understanding of synchrony between populations from different taxonomic groups has been centered on predator–prey dynamics in simple systems but has rarely been examined in complex predator–prey systems.
