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

Natural diversity in the predatory behavior facilitates the establishment of a robust model strain for nematode-trapping fungi. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Significance Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are carnivorous microbes that hold potential to be used as biological control agents due to their ability to consume nematodes.

Bacterial vitamin B12 production enhances nematode predatory behavior. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 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 ...

Predatory behavior of Pseudodorus clavatus (Diptera, Syrphidae) on aphids tended by ants
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2013 Predatory behavior of Pseudodorus clavatus (Diptera, Syrphidae) on aphids tended by ants. In this study, we examined the interactions between myrmecophilous aphids, their ant-guards and a predatory syrphid species, Pseudodorus clavatus (F.).

Predatory behavior under monocular and binocular conditions in the semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata. [PDF]
Front Behav Neurosci, 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.

Revista 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 ...

bioRxiv, 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 ...

Research, 2022 Predatory hunting is an innate appetite-driven and evolutionarily conserved behavior essential for animal survival, integrating sequential behaviors including searching, pursuit, attack, retrieval, and ultimately consumption.

Learning & Behavior, 2022 In order to effectively thwart predation, antipredator defensive behaviors must be matched to the current spatio-temporal relationship to the predator. We have proposed a model where different defensive responses are organized along a predatory imminence
