Influence of Prey Size on the Predatory Behavior of Ectatomma brunneum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]

, 2008
The influence of prey size on the predatory behavior and behavioral sequence of Ectatomma brunneum under laboratory conditions was evaluated. Two behaviors were characterized: rejection and attack, the latter divided into individual and group attack.

Sublethal Effects of Pyridaben on the Predatory Function of Neoseiulus womersleyi

Insects
Pyridaben is a widely utilized, broad-spectrum contact acaricide, which has notable sublethal effects that impair the predatory capabilities of predatory mites, but the specific mechanisms that affect the predatory functions remain underexplored.

Predatory Personalities as Behavioral Mimics and Parasites

Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2014
Humans use a variety of deceptive tactics to extract resources from unsuspecting others. In this article, I suggest that much can be learned about patterns of human deception from predatory nonhuman animal behavior and parasitic infections. Nonhuman animals and parasitic infections utilize deceptive tactics to extract resources through two overarching ...

Cell rupture in Arcellinida through the lens of evolution

Acta Protozoologica
The majority of predatory protists are size-limited. Arcellinida (Amoebozoa) exhibit the remarkable ability to prey upon larger rganisms.

Amur tiger urine enhances the foraging behavior of three major small-bodied mesopredator species in northeastern China

Ecological Processes
Background Apex predators exert dual effects on mesopredators, including both suppression through lethal encounters and fear, as well as facilitation through providing food via prey remains.

Effects of Prey-Mediated Sublethal Exposure to Imidacloprid and Nitenpyram on the Fitness and Predation Capacity in Chrysopa pallens

Insects
Chrysopa pallens Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a key predatory species in cotton agroecosystems. This study investigated the prey-mediated sublethal effects of imidacloprid and nitenpyram at low concentrations (LC20), on C.

Genomic response to selection for predatory behavior in a mammalian model of adaptive radiation [PDF]

If genetic architectures of various quantitative traits are similar, as studies on model organisms suggest, comparable selection pressures should produce similar molecular patterns for various traits.
