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.

The effect of relatedness and pack size on territory overlap in African wild dogs
Movement Ecology, 2017 Background Spacing patterns mediate competitive interactions between conspecifics, ultimately increasing fitness. The degree of territorial overlap between neighbouring African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) packs varies greatly, yet the role of factors ...

Predator avoidance in extremophile fish [PDF]
, 2013 Extreme habitats are often characterized by reduced predation pressures, thus representing refuges for the inhabiting species. The present study was designed to investigate predator avoidance of extremophile populations of Poecilia mexicana and P ...

Wildlife responses to livestock guard dogs and domestic sheep on open range
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are an attractant to carnivores; however, sheep are often accompanied by humans and livestock guardian dogs (LGDs; Canis familiaris), which defend sheep from depredation.

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 ...

Intolerant baboons avoid observer proximity, creating biased inter-individual association patterns
Scientific Reports, 2022 Social network analysis is an increasingly popular tool for behavioural ecologists exploring the social organisation of animal populations. Such analyses require data on inter-individual association patterns, which in wild populations are often collected

Developmental changes in foraging-predator avoidance trade-offs in larval lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus [PDF]
, 1991 The 5-12 wk old larvae increased time spent clinging to a surface in the presence of a predator, trading-off time available for foraging in order to reduce the probability of attack.
