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.

Visual Detection of Speckles in the Fish Xenotoca variata by the Predatory Snake Thamnophis melanogaster in Water of Different Turbidity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Semi-aquatic snakes integrate visual and chemical stimuli, and prey detection and capture success are therefore linked to the display of visual predatory behavior.

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 ...

Biofilm matrix disrupts nematode motility and predatory behavior. [PDF]
ISME J, 2021 Abstract In nature, bacteria form biofilms by producing exopolymeric matrix that encases its entire community. While it is widely known that biofilm matrix can prevent bacterivore predation and contain virulence factors for killing predators, it is unclear if they can alter predator motility. Here, we report a novel “quagmire” phenotype,

Bacterial vitamin B12 production enhances nematode predatory behavior. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 Abstract Although the microbiota is known to affect host development, metabolism, and immunity, its impact on host behavior is only beginning to be understood. In order to better characterize behavior modulation by host-associated microorganisms, we investigated how bacteria modulate complex behaviors in the nematode model organism ...

Predatory Personalities as Behavioral Mimics and Parasites
Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2014 Humans use a variety of deceptive tactics to extract resources from unsuspecting others. In this article, I suggest that much can be learned about patterns of human deception from predatory nonhuman animal behavior and parasitic infections. Nonhuman animals and parasitic infections utilize deceptive tactics to extract resources through two overarching ...

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 ...
