Predatory behavior under monocular and binocular conditions in the semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNeohelice granulata crabs live in mudflats where they prey upon smaller crabs. Predatory behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by a dummy moving at ground level in an artificial arena.

Evaluation of Predation on Phytophagous Insects by a Phytozoophagous Mirid Bug, Apolygus lucorum [PDF]
InsectsApolygus lucorum, a phytozoophagous mirid bug, plays an important role in the species interactions within fruit tree and cotton ecosystems. Previous research has mainly focused on the phytophagous damage that it causes to crops, while its role as a ...

Lateralization of eye use in cuttlefish: opposite direction for anti-predatory and predatory behaviors. [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Vertebrates with laterally placed eyes typically exhibit preferential eye use for ecological activities such as scanning for predators or prey. Processing visual information predominately through the left or right visual field has been associated with ...

A Corticotectal Pathway Regulates Vibrissal Somatosensory-Mediated Predatory Hunting Learning [PDF]
ResearchAlthough predatory behaviors are evolutionarily conserved, they can be enhanced through experience-dependent plasticity. While vibrissal somatosensation is recognized as a key mediator of hunting behavior, the mechanism underlying vibrissal somatosensory-

Emotions and Dog Bites: Could Predatory Attacks Be Triggered by Emotional States?
Animals, 2021 Dog biting events pose severe public health and animal welfare concerns. They result in several consequences for both humans (including physical and psychological trauma) and the dog involved in the biting episode (abandonment, relocation to shelter and ...

Predatory Luring Behavior of Odonates [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 Organisms in the order Odonata are highly predatory insects that have a wide distribution globally. To date, there has been zero evidence that odonates employ luring as a means of prey acquisition. However, in this study, we show that Aeshna palmata larvae use abdominal movements to lure larval Argia vivida, subsequently consuming the lured organism ...
