Visual Detection of Speckles in the Fish Xenotoca variata by the Predatory Snake Thamnophis melanogaster in Water of Different Turbidity [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The results of this study suggest that speckles on male X. variata are visual signals to potential predators such as the snake T. melanogaster. However, speckles are not a determining factor; snakes display a higher frequency of predatory behavior toward

Predatory behavior in two strains of laboratory mice [PDF]
Psychonomic Science, 1969 Eighteen C57BL/Crgl and 12 IS/Bi/Crgl male mice, not deprived of food, attacked and ate crickets on two occasions. In comparison with ISs, C57BL mice had longer attack latencies on both trials, spent their initial minutes in more approach-withdrawal behavior, and showed a significant decrease in attack latency on Trial 2.

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

Waterborne agrichemicals compromise the anti-predatory behavior of zebrafish
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020 Due to human activities, there is an increasing presence of agrochemicals residues in water bodies, which could be attributed to an increased use of these chemicals, incorrect disposal of packaging materials, and crop leaching. The effects of these residues on prey-predator relationship of aquatic animals are poorly known.

The use of artificial crabs for testing predatory behavior and health in the octopus
ALTEX, 2014 The willingness of the cephalopod mollusc Octopus vulgaris to attack a live crab is traditionally used as a method to assess the overall health and welfare of octopuses in the laboratory. This method requires placing a crab in the home tank of an animal,

In the pursuit of the predatory behavior of borophagines (Mammalia, Carnivora, Canidae): inferences from forelimb morphology. [PDF]
Journal of mammalian evolution, 2016 Política de acceso abierto tomada de: https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/14270Here, we perform an ecomorphological study on the major bones (humerus, radius, and ulna) of the carnivoran forelimb using three-dimensional geometric morphometrics.

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.
