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 ...

Interaction between spiders and ticks-ancient arthropod predatory behavior? [PDF]
Parasitol ResAbstractTicks are ectoparasite vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health worldwide. Rational integration of different control interventions including plant-derived repellents and acaricides, management of natural predators, and vaccines is required for innovative approaches to reduce the risks associated with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

Behavioral and Endocrine Change Following Chronic Predatory Stress
Physiology & Behavior, 1998 Adult male rats showed very high levels of crouching when exposed to a cat, with suppression of the nondefensive behaviors (e.g., lying, locomotion, rearing) that were shown by toy cat-exposed controls. The crouching of cat-exposed rats declined slightly but reliably with increasing time within daily 60-min exposure sessions.

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 ...

Assaying Predatory Feeding Behaviors in <em>Pristionchus</em> and Other Nematodes [PDF]
Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2016 This protocol provides multiple methods for the analysis and quantification of predatory feeding behaviors in nematodes. Many nematode species including Pristionchus pacificus display complex behaviors, the most striking of which is the predation of other nematode larvae.

Microorganisms, 2021 Theory and empirical studies in metazoans predict that apex predators should shape the behavior and ecology of mesopredators and prey at lower trophic levels.

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
