Evolution Letters, 2019 Effective anti‐predatory strategies typically require matching appearance and behavior in prey, and there are many compelling examples of behavioral repertoires that enhance the effectiveness of morphological defenses. When protective adult morphology is

Sociobiology, 2017 Ants are among the insects involved in cadaveric decomposition processes, as they exhibit predatory and necrophagous behavior. Red ants exhibit an aggressive behavior, which impacts carcass colonization, accelerates or delays the decomposition rates and ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Prey evolve antipredator strategies against multiple enemies in nature. We examined how a prey species adopts different predation avoidance tactics against pursuit or sit‐and‐wait predators.

Chemotactic predator-prey dynamics
, 2010 A discrete chemotactic predator-prey model is proposed in which the prey secrets a diffusing chemical which is sensed by the predator and vice versa. Two dynamical states corresponding to catching and escaping are identified and it is shown that steady ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 Land flatworms are carnivorous, mainly predators. However, knowledge on their predatory behavior and prey preference is very scarce. This paucity of data is a limiting factor in the study of their biology and organismal ecology, resulting in a very ...

Effects of Neonatal Handling on Play Behavior and Fear Towards a Predator Odor in Juvenile Rats
, 2008 The effects of brief daily separation, also known as handling, during the first 2 weeks of life on play behavior and fearfulness toward a predatory odor were assessed in juvenile rats.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Weberian apparatus is a hearing specialization unique to the otophysan fishes, and an unexpected degree of morphological variation exists in species of the Noturus catfishes. Our aim in this study is to investigate relationships between morphological variations and ecology that may drive this variation.

Forensic Science International: Reports, 2020 Outdoor decaying corpses immediately attract Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae flies. However, the invasive red and black imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta and richteri) is also attracted to carrion with a reportedly predatory behavior.
