Homology in a context dependent predatory behavior in spiders (Araneae) [PDF]

, 2008
Stereotyped behaviors have been routinely used as characters for phylogeny inference, but the same cannot be said of the plastic aspects of performance, which routinely are taken as a result of ecological processes. In this paper we examine the evolution

Prey and Non-prey Arthropods Sharing a Host Plant: Effects on Induced Volatile Emission and Predator Attraction [PDF]

, 2008
It is well established that plants infested with a single herbivore species can attract specific natural enemies through the emission of herbivore-induced volatiles.

Tropical House Gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia) predation on brown spiders (Loxosceles intermedia)

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2004
Brown spiders (Loxosceles spp.) are venomous arachnids, successfully adapted to urban habitats in Brazil. Loxoscelism became a serious public health problem in Paraná State, especially at the capital Curitiba, where the most abundant species is ...

Consumption and handling time of Euborellia annulipes and Marava arachidis (Dermaptera: Anisolabididae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the pests that causes the most damage to corn, with chemical control being the main method. However, the increase in cases of resistance emphasizes the need for alternative methods, such to the biological control.

Variation in herbivory-induced volatiles among cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) varieties has consequences for the attraction of carnivorous natural enemies [PDF]

, 2011
In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...

Light Intensity Modulates Locomotor Behavior and Predation in Different Color Morphs of the Harlequin Ladybird, Harmonia axyridis

Insects
Light is a fundamental ecological cue for insects, influencing physiological rhythms and behavior. We investigated how varying light intensities affect locomotion and foraging in H. axyridis color morphs, and examined the role of visual opsins.

Overcoming the phantoms of the past: Influence of predatory stimuli on the antipredator behavior of island pitvipers.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The reduction of predation is a potentially important factor for the evolution of the traits of an island animal species. By relaxed selection, insular animals tend to lose their antipredator behaviors.

A sociobiological model for predatory aggression in chimpanzees [PDF]

, 1984
Since no previous unifying theoretical framework existed for viewing the different instances of chimpanzee predatory aggression (i.e., predatory behavior, cannibalism, infanticide, and warfare), the author developed a model for predatory aggression which
