Predatory Behavior of Jumping Spiders
Annual Review of Entomology, 1996Salticids, the largest family of spiders, have unique eyes, acute vision, and elaborate vision-mediated predatory behavior, which is more pronounced than in any other spider group. Diverse predatory strategies have evolved, including araneophagy, aggressive mimicry, myrmicophagy, and prey-specific prey-catching behavior. Salticids are also distinctive

Antidepressants and the control of predatory behavior
Physiology & Behavior, 1980Abstract The problem is raised whether the concept of the pharmacological control of predatory behavior of the rat (muricide) does apply to a carnivorous species, the ferret. Antidepressant drugs with differential potencies on either noradrenaline and/or serotonin uptake were applied: Fluoxetine (6 and 12 mg/kg orally), chlorimipramine (15 mg/kg ...

Vitamin B12 and predatory behavior in nematodes
2022The round worms or nematodes are the largest phylum of animals with an estimated species number of more than one million. Nematodes have invaded all ecosystems and are known from all continents including Antarctica. Parasitic species infest plants, animals and humans often with high host-specificity.

Predatory digging behavior by dinosaurs
Geology, 2010Minimal direct evidence exists in the rock record of dinosaurs and mammals behaving as predators and prey, respectively. A newly discovered Late Cretaceous trace fossil association of digging traces of maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs and mammalian den complexes indicates a predator-prey relationship. Three distinct associated trace fossils occur within

A measure to quantify predatory publishing is urgently needed
Accountability in Research, 2023The issue of predatory publishing is of increasing concern to the academic community. In this letter, we express more concern than hope about a recently launched online machine-learning tool that identifies suspected predatory journals based on existing ...

The roots of primate predatory behavior
Journal of Human Evolution, 1978Evidence is examined that supports the view that in collecting-predatory primates many of the behaviours associated with the predatory component of the subsistence pattern are similar to those occurring during omnivorous collecting activities. General similarities are found between some elements of predatory behavior and some overall features of ...

Predatory Behaviors in Bacteria — Diversity and Transitions [PDF]
Microbe Magazine, 2007 Nutrient and energy flows among organisms can be depicted as webs within which predatory interactions are extremely important. Predatory behaviors often dominate top-to-bottom relationships, while productivity tends to control bottom-to-top flows.

Predatory behavior after hypothalamic lesions in cats
Physiology & Behavior, 1980Abstract Electrolytic lesions of the hypothalamus were performed in cats tested preoperatively as good mouse killers. It was found that mouse killing behavior was not impaired after hypothalamic damage, whereas mouse consumption was abolished for several weeks.

Some aspects of predatory behavior
Aggressive Behavior, 1978Predatory behavior is conceived of as a loose chain of responses including searching for relevant stimuli, hunting or chasing potential prey, capturing or attacking prey, and killing and feeding on prey. These aspects, which may occur independently, are described and discussed separately with an emphasis on mammalian species of carnivores.
