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 ...

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 ...

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

Comparison of thread-cutting behaviour in three specialist predatory mites to cope with complex webs of Tetranychus spider mites [PDF]
, 2011 Anti-predator defenses provided by complex webs of Tetranychus mites can severely impede the performance of generalist predatory mites, whereas this may not be true for specialist predatory mites.

Bacterial vitamin B12 production enhances nematode predatory behavior
The ISME Journal, 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 ...

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2021 The Channel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus ariel) is an omnivorous bird that eventually is nest-robbers. Several birdsongs display anti-predatory strategies such as attacks and mobbing calls to face this kind of predators.
