The importance of predator behaviour on risk to prey [PDF]
, 2008 Both predator and prey have evolved to maximise reproductive success by balancing food intake with risk. There has been a bias in predator-prey studies, where prey behaviour has been examined in detail, yet predators are assumed to follow simplistic ...

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 ...

Using accelerometers to develop time-energy budgets of wild fur seals from captive surrogates [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Accurate time-energy budgets summarise an animal’s energy expenditure in a given environment, and are potentially a sensitive indicator of how an animal responds to changing resources. Deriving accurate time-energy budgets requires an estimate

Drone Observations of Marine Life and Human–Wildlife Interactions off Sydney, Australia
Drones, 2022 Drones have become popular with the general public for viewing and filming marine life. One amateur enthusiast platform, DroneSharkApp, films marine life in the waters off Sydney, Australia year-round and posts their observations on social media.

A critical assessment of marine predator isoscapes within the southern Indian Ocean
Movement Ecology, 2020 Background Precise and accurate retrospective geolocation of marine predators via their tissues’ isotopic composition relies on quality reference maps of relevant isotopic gradients (“isoscapes”).

Reciprocal intraguild predation and predator coexistence [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractIntraguild predation is a mix of competition and predation and occurs when one species feeds on another species that uses similar resources. Theory predicts that intraguild predation hampers coexistence of species involved, but it is common in nature.

Predators avoiding predation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 The notion of stealthy predation often invokes images of a predator hiding and waiting to ambush its unsuspecting prey. In this issue of PNAS, Manicom et al. (1) offer an alternative reason why predators hide that involves an important tradeoff between capturing prey and seeking refuge to avoid their own demise from other predator species.
