Predatory behavior in the genusLeptogenys: A comparative study
Journal of Insect Behavior, 1997We studied the predatory behavior of seven species of the genusLeptogenys from Mexico and Cameroon. The ants of this genus are armed with long, thin, curved mandibles articulated at the extreme corners of the anterior margin of the head, permitting them easily to seize oniscoid isopods, the obligate or the principal prey of mostLeptogenys species ...

New record of predatory behavior by the mandrill in Cameroon
Primates, 1985The predatory behavior of the mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx,Linnaeus 1758), a forestliving baboon, on the bay duiker (Cephalophus dorsalis,Gray 1864) was observed under natural conditions. In the predatory episode, at least two mandrills (one adult female and one adult male) attacked a bay duiker, but no overt aggressive interactions between the ...

Predatory Behavior of Argiope aurantia (Lucas)
American Midland Naturalist, 1974The impact of an insect in the orb web of Argiope aurantia elicits a complex sequence of predatory behavior which can be subdivided on a functional basis into four categories: prey location, prey immobilization, prey transportation and feeding. This paper de- scribes the more common predatory behavior patterns of a Central Texas population of this ...

Forestry Studies in China, 2008Pine wilt is a serious and fatal disease in pine forests. It is caused by the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, transmitted by the Japanese saw beetle Monochamus alternatus. Control of this disease depends on reducing its vector population.

Defensive behavior in rats towards predatory odors: a review
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2001Studies of the response of rodents to predatory odors (mainly cat) have provided useful insights into the nature of defensive behavior. This article reviews work in this area with a focus on a behavioral paradigm recently developed in our laboratory in which we present rats with a piece of fabric collar that has been previously worn by a cat.

PREDATORY BEHAVIOR OF GOVERNMENTS: THE CASE OF MASS KILLING
Defence and Peace Economics, 2008In this paper we seek to answer the question: why do governments engage in mass killing? Tullock (1974) gives gain or avoidance of loss as the motive. We construct a three‐stage theoretic framework to explain the choice of a ruler of a country. The conditions that must be met for a mass killing regime to win over alternative regimes are derived.

Effects of p-chlorophenylalanine on the predatory behavior of Onychomys torridus
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1976Adult male and female grasshopper mice, Onychomys torridus, were treated over a 5 day period with p-chlorophenylalanine (50 mg/kg daily), a depletor of brain 5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE (5-HT). These mice exhibited a significant decrease over the 5 day test interval in predation time and predation score in encounters with cricket prey, However, the basic ...
