Predator-prey cycles from resonant amplification of demographic stochasticity
, 2005 In this paper we present the simplest individual level model of predator-prey dynamics and show, via direct calculation, that it exhibits cycling behavior.

Noise-guided evolution within cyclical interactions [PDF]
, 2007 We study a stochastic predator-prey model on a square lattice, where each of the six species has two superior and two inferior partners. The invasion probabilities between species depend on the predator-prey pair and are supplemented by Gaussian noise ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.

Predator-prey interactions: How thrips avoid predation
Biological ControlBiological pest control is successful in many agricultural systems, yet various pests can still not be controlled with natural enemies. Examples are invasive thrips species such as Echinothrips americanus Morgan and Thrips parvispinus (Karny) in Europe.

Selectivity of Entomopathogenic Fungi to Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
Insects, 2020 We aimed to evaluate the selectivity of entomopathogenic fungi to larvae of Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). For this purpose, Beauveria bassiana (strain ESALQ PL63), Metarhizium anisopliae (strain ESALQ E9) and Metarhizium rileyi (strain ...
