Tearing Out the Income Tax by the (Grass)Roots [PDF]

, 2011
Landscapes are increasingly fragmented, and conservation programs have started to look at network approaches for maintaining populations at a larger scale. We present an agent-based model of predator–prey dynamics where the agents (i.e.

SEXUAL PREDATORS

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1999
Social responses to sex-offending behaviors have included criminal sanctions and clinical interventions that have evolved over time. These developments have created various challenges for mental health professionals charged with providing care to offenders, particularly when legislative expectations have exceeded available treatments.

The utility of accelerometers to predict stroke rate in captive fur seals and sea lions

Biology Open, 2017
The energy expenditure of free-living fur seals and sea lions is difficult to measure directly, but may be indirectly derived from flipper stroke rate. We filmed 10 captive otariids swimming with accelerometers either attached to a harness (Daily Diary ...

Prey aggregation is an effective olfactory predator avoidance strategy [PDF]

, 2014
Predator–prey interactions have a major effect on species abundance and diversity, and aggregation is a well-known anti-predator behaviour. For immobile prey, the effectiveness of aggregation depends on two conditions: (a) the inability of the predator ...

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]

, 2016
The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

Foraging in a dynamic environment: Response of four sympatric sub‐Antarctic albatross species to interannual environmental variability

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their foraging behavior accordingly.

Potential of Hedgerows with Aromatic Plants as Reservoirs of Natural Enemies of Pests in Orange Orchards

Insects, 2023
In the present study, the potential of hedgerows from Mediterranean aromatic plant species, i.e., oregano, rosemary, sage, and savory, in orange field margins to function as reservoirs of natural enemies of citrus pests was tested in comparison to the ...

Spatial Demo-Genetic Predator–Prey Model for Studying Natural Selection of Traits Enhancing Consumer Motility

Mathematics, 2023
Combining explicit modelling of predator movements with the Kostitzin demo-genetic equations, we study conditions promoting natural selection of consumer motility.

Predating Predators

, 2005
Predating predators requires at least three specimen to which we refer as players 1, 2, and 3. Player 1 has simply to guess nature when trying to find food. Player 2 is hunting player 1 in the hope that 1 is well-fed but must also avoid being hunted by player 3.

Consistency in the flight and visual orientation distances of habituated chacma baboons after an observed leopard predation. Do flight initiation distance methods always measure perceived predation risk?

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Flight initiation distance (FID) procedures are used to assess the risk perception animals have for threats (e.g., natural predators, hunters), but it is unclear whether these assessments remain meaningful if animals have habituated to certain human ...
