Rippling Is a Predatory Behavior in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACT Cells of Myxococcus xanthus will, at times, organize their movement such that macroscopic traveling waves, termed ripples, are formed as groups of cells glide together on a solid surface. The reason for this behavior has long been a mystery, but we demonstrate here that rippling is a feeding ...

Prey Capture, Ingestion, and Digestion Dynamics of Octopus vulgaris Paralarvae Fed Live Zooplankton

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Octopus vulgaris is a species of great interest in research areas such as neurobiology, ethology, and ecology but also a candidate species for aquaculture as a food resource and for alleviating the fishing pressure on its wild populations.

Behavioral and Epileptic Determinants of Predatory Attack Behavior in the Cat [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1975
SUMMARY:This report presents studies which relate limbic epileptic excitability to behavioral measures of defensive suppression of predatory attack in cats. Correlated with heightened defensiveness to environmental stimuli among non-killer cats is a heightened amygdaloid epileptic excitability, as well as a heightened conduction of amygdaloid epileptic

Predatory Behavior of Yellow Baboons [PDF]

Behaviour, 1976
Abstract1. A group of 32 yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in the Masai-Amboseli National Park, Kenya, caught and ate 45 vertebrate prey items during 2519.19 hours of observation. 2. Eighty percent of the prey items were mammals and the most frequently eaten species were African hares (Lepus capensis), vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) and ...

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.

The effect of interaguild predation on avoidance behavior of the aphidophagous midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Dip.: Cecidomyiidae) on its encounter with the predatory bug Orius laevigatus (Het.: Anthocoridae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2013
The predatory bug, Orius laevigatus (Fibber), and the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani, belong to an aphidophagous guild, feeding on the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover.

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.

Schooling Trajectories and the Development of Brain Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Montessori and Traditional Education

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Montessori and traditional schooling systems shape the developmental trajectory of large‐scale brain dynamics in different ways. We quantify the arrow of time (“non‐reversibility”) in neural activity during resting state and movie‐watching, revealing distinct maturational patterns.

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.
