Bacterial vitamin B12 production enhances nematode predatory behavior. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 Although the microbiota is known to affect host development, metabolism, and immunity, its impact on host behavior is only beginning to be understood. In order to better characterize behavior modulation by host-associated microorganisms, we investigated ...

Lateralization of eye use in cuttlefish: opposite direction for anti-predatory and predatory behaviors. [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Vertebrates with laterally placed eyes typically exhibit preferential eye use for ecological activities such as scanning for predators or prey. Processing visual information predominately through the left or right visual field has been associated with ...

Biofilm matrix disrupts nematode motility and predatory behavior. [PDF]
ISME J, 2021 Abstract In nature, bacteria form biofilms by producing exopolymeric matrix that encases its entire community. While it is widely known that biofilm matrix can prevent bacterivore predation and contain virulence factors for killing predators, it is unclear if they can alter predator motility. Here, we report a novel “quagmire” phenotype,

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Corallococcus sp. Strain EGB Reveals the Genetic Determinants Linking Taxonomy and Predatory Behavior. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 Corallococcus sp. strain EGB is a Gram-negative myxobacteria isolated from saline soil, and has considerable potential for the biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi. However, the detailed mechanisms related to development and predatory behavior are unclear.

Natural diversity in the predatory behavior facilitates the establishment of a robust model strain for nematode-trapping fungi. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Significance Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are carnivorous microbes that hold potential to be used as biological control agents due to their ability to consume nematodes.

Predatory behavior under monocular and binocular conditions in the semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNeohelice granulata crabs live in mudflats where they prey upon smaller crabs. Predatory behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by a dummy moving at ground level in an artificial arena.

Visual Detection of Speckles in the Fish Xenotoca variata by the Predatory Snake Thamnophis melanogaster in Water of Different Turbidity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Semi-aquatic snakes integrate visual and chemical stimuli, and prey detection and capture success are therefore linked to the display of visual predatory behavior.

Individual Variation in Predatory Behavior, Scavenging and Seasonal Prey Availability as Potential Drivers of Coexistence between Wolves and Bears [PDF]
, 2020 Several large carnivore populations are recovering former ranges, and it is important to understand interspecific interactions between overlapping species. In Scandinavia, recent research has reported that brown bear presence influences gray wolf habitat

Phylogenetic Revisit to a Review on Predatory Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2023 Predatory bacteria, along with the biology of their predatory behavior, have attracted interest in terms of their ecological significance and industrial applications, a trend that has been even more pronounced since the comprehensive review in 2016. This
