Defensive behavior in rats towards predatory odors: a review

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2001
Studies 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.

Behavioral Diversity of Predatory Arboreal Ants in Coffee Agroecosystems

Environmental Entomology, 2008
Abstract Aspects of predator assemblages that alter predator effects on prey have received extensive recent attention. Among other mechanisms, differences in behavior or resource use within predator trophic levels may enhance predator effects on prey, especially if effects of each predator species differ with environmental conditions. We

Lead exposure potentiates predatory attack behavior in the cat

Environmental Research, 2003
Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that environmental lead exposure is associated with aggressive behavior in children; however, numerous confounding variables limit the ability of these studies to establish a causal relationship. The study of aggressive behavior using a validated animal model was used to test the hypothesis that there is a causal

Predatory Behaviors in Bacteria — Diversity and Transitions

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.

Relative importance of distance senses in hamster predatory behavior

Behavioural Processes, 1985
This study examined the relative importance vision, audition and olfaction played in the localization of prey in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus ). These three senses were blocked singly or in various combinations so that a hamster was tested under eight different situations with a tethered cricket and four situations with a dead cricket ...

Optimal diet theory: behavior of a starved predatory snail

Oecologia, 1987
The tenets of optimal foraging theory are used to contrast the behavior of the predatory snail Acantina spirata when feeding on the barnacles Balanus glandula and Chthamalus fissus under conditions of satiation and starvation. As predicted in optimal diet models, A.

The “mad” vs. the “bad” Revisited: Managing Predatory Behavior

Psychiatric Quarterly, 1999
Ever since the Englightenment, western democracies have maintained separate institutions for the "mad" and for the "bad." For the mad they provided protection and treatment, and for the bad, deterrence and punishment. During the past decade, however, increasing social conservatism and the apparent failure of the criminal justice system have resulted in
