Predatory Behavior of Argiope aurantia (Lucas)
American Midland Naturalist, 1974The impact of an insect in the orb web of Argiope aurantia elicits a complex sequence of predatory behavior which can be subdivided on a functional basis into four categories: prey location, prey immobilization, prey transportation and feeding. This paper de- scribes the more common predatory behavior patterns of a Central Texas population of this ...

Lead exposure potentiates predatory attack behavior in the cat
Environmental Research, 2003Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that environmental lead exposure is associated with aggressive behavior in children; however, numerous confounding variables limit the ability of these studies to establish a causal relationship. The study of aggressive behavior using a validated animal model was used to test the hypothesis that there is a causal

Defensive behavior in rats towards predatory odors: a review
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2001Studies of the response of rodents to predatory odors (mainly cat) have provided useful insights into the nature of defensive behavior. This article reviews work in this area with a focus on a behavioral paradigm recently developed in our laboratory in which we present rats with a piece of fabric collar that has been previously worn by a cat.

Form and function: the phylogenesis of predatory behavior.
Australian Mammalogy, 1985The act of predation is defined here to include the behavior of insectivores. By examining the behavior of a set of morphologically conservative mammals, a common pattern of prey capture can be identified. Mammals with a conservative morphology and that are active predators may have similar bite efficiencies. Acts of predation in nature are only rarely

Predatory Behaviors in Bacteria — Diversity and Transitions
Microbe Magazine, 2007Nutrient and energy flows among organisms can be depicted as webs within which predatory interactions are extremely important. Predatory behaviors often dominate top-to-bottom relationships, while productivity tends to control bottom-to-top flows.

Multimodal Integration in the Feeding Behaviors of Predatory Teleost Fishes
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2002The search for useful model systems to study sensory processing in vertebrate nervous systems has resulted in many neuroethological studies investigating the roles played by a single sensory modality in a given behavior. However, animals behaving in a complex, three-dimensional environment receive a large amount of information from external and ...

Optimal diet theory: behavior of a starved predatory snail
Oecologia, 1987The tenets of optimal foraging theory are used to contrast the behavior of the predatory snail Acantina spirata when feeding on the barnacles Balanus glandula and Chthamalus fissus under conditions of satiation and starvation. As predicted in optimal diet models, A.

Relative importance of distance senses in hamster predatory behavior
Behavioural Processes, 1985This study examined the relative importance vision, audition and olfaction played in the localization of prey in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus ). These three senses were blocked singly or in various combinations so that a hamster was tested under eight different situations with a tethered cricket and four situations with a dead cricket ...
