Physical evidence of predatory behavior in Tyrannosaurus rex. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
Feeding strategies of the large theropod, Tyrannosaurus rex , either as a predator or a scavenger, have been a topic of debate previously compromised by lack of definitive physical evidence. Tooth drag and bone puncture marks have been documented on suggested prey items, but are often difficult to attribute to a ...

Serotonin Drives Predatory Feeding Behavior via Synchronous Feeding Rhythms in the Nematode Pristionchus pacificus

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Feeding behaviors in a wide range of animals are regulated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, although the exact neural circuits and associated mechanism are often unknown.

Predatory behavior of three centipede species of the order Scolopendromorpha (Arthropoda: Myriapoda: Chilopoda) [PDF]

open access: gold, 2016
Studies related to centipede feeding and predatory behavior are rare in the literature, and are limited to observations made during fieldwork. Furthermore, they lack descriptions of prey capture.

Fin-tail coordination during escape and predatory behavior in larval zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Larval zebrafish innately perform a suite of behaviors that are tightly linked to their evolutionary past, notably escape from threatening stimuli and pursuit and capture of prey.

Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)

open access: yesZoologia (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 ...

Predatory Behavior ofCanthon virens(Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): A Predator of Leafcutter Ants [PDF]

open access: gold, 2012
We present a detailed description of the predatory behavior of the beetle Canthon virens Mannerheim, 1829, on the leafcutter ant Atta sp. We observed 51 acts of predation, which were also recorded on film and subjected to behavioral analysis.

Analysis of a Holling-type IV stochastic prey-predator system with anti-predatory behavior and Lévy noise

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics, 2023
In this paper, we investigate a stochastic prey-predator model with Holling-type IV functional responses, anti-predatory behavior (referring to prey resistance to predator), gestation time delay of prey and Lévy noise.

Predation strategies of Harpactor angulosus (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on Cladomorphus phyllinus Gray, 1835 (Phasmatodea: Phasmatidae) in captivity

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Based on the observation of specimens kept in captivity for 69 days, here we describe in detail for the first time the predatory behavior of an assassin bug Harpactor angulosus (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae ...

Artificial selection for predatory behavior results in dietary niche differentiation in an omnivorous mammal

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The diet of an individual is a result of the availability of dietary items and the individual’s foraging skills and preferences. Behavioral differences may thus influence diet variation, but the evolvability of diet choice through behavioral evolution ...
