Marine Biodiversity of Coral Reef Fishes in Pieh Marine Recreational Park After Bleaching and Acanthaster Outbreaks

open access: yesJurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2022
Highlight Research • After bleaching disturbance and Acanthaster planci outbreaks, herbivore fishes species were dominated in MRP Pieh • This explains the marine recreational activities in utilization zone MRP Pieh have no impact on reducing fish ...

Predator confusion is sufficient to evolve swarming behavior

open access: yes, 2013
Swarming behaviors in animals have been extensively studied due to their implications for the evolution of cooperation, social cognition, and predator-prey dynamics.

On some Free Boundary Problems of the Prey-predator Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we investigate some free boundary problems for the Lotka-Volterra type prey-predator model in one space dimension. The main objective is to understand the asymptotic behavior of the two species (prey and predator) spreading via a free ...

Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and cheetahs

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The long-distance hunting behaviour of African wild dogs is thought to be energetically costly. Here, Hubel et al. show that multiple opportunistic short-distance hunts and group feeding make African wild dogs in mixed woodland savannah energetically ...

Fear of predators alters herbivore regulation of soil microbial community function

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Fear of predation can affect important ecosystem processes by altering the prey traits expression that, in turn, regulates the quantity and quality of nutritional inputs to soil.

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

Vertical extratification of phytophagous and predator mites (Acari) on Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae) tree canopies

open access: yesPersian Journal of Acarology, 2021
The distribution of Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Caryocaraceae) trees is wide in the Brazilian Cerrado biome and its fruits are used by humans for food and as the main income source of many communities.

Apex predator and the cyclic competition in a rock-paper-scissors game of three species

open access: yes, 2017
This work deals with the effects of an apex predator on the cyclic competition among three distinct species that follow the rules of the rock-paper-scissors game.

Behavioural compatibility, not fear, best predicts the looking patterns of chacma baboons

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Animal vigilance is often investigated under a narrow set of scenarios, but this approach may overestimate its contribution to animal lives. A solution may be to sample all looking behaviours and investigate numerous competing hypotheses in a single ...

Fluctuations and Correlations in Lattice Models for Predator-Prey Interaction

open access: yes, 2006
Including spatial structure and stochastic noise invalidates the classical Lotka-Volterra picture of stable regular population cycles emerging in models for predator-prey interactions.
