PREDATORY BEHAVIOR OF TETRAGNATHA PRAEDONIA (ARANEAE: TETRAGNATHIDAE)
Acta Arachnologica, 1987 The predatory behavior of Tetragnatha praedonia was studied. The prey consisted of mainly Diptera, especially midge flies, smaller than 3mm in body length. When capturing small prey, this species applied mainly “Seize-Pull out” strategy to them; that is, it plucked the web to locate the prey, ran and seized it in the jaws, pulled it out of the web ...

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Predatory Behavior of Leucauge magnifica (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)
Acta Arachnologica, 2000 The predatory behavior of Leucauge magnifica was studied. This species employed five predatory sequences: seize-pull out, bite-pull out, bite-wrap, wrap-bite, and wrap. Attack wrapping was used to subdue various types of prey such as grasshoppers, damselflies, ants and stinkbugs, which may be large and/or dangerous prey.

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Exploring the evolution of a trade-off between vigilance and foraging in group-living organisms
, 2014 Despite the fact that grouping behavior has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear.
