The piranha genome provides molecular insight associated to its unique feeding behavior [PDF]

, 2019
The piranha enjoys notoriety due to its infamous predatory behavior but much is still not understood about its evolutionary origins and the underlying molecular mechanisms for its unusual feeding biology.

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 ...

Perch, Perca fluviatilis show a directional preference for, but do not increase attacks toward, prey in response to water-borne cortisol [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
In freshwater environments, chemosensory cues play an important role in predator-prey interactions. Prey use a variety of chemosensory cues to detect and avoid predators.

"Freshwater killer whales": beaching behavior of an alien fish to hunt land birds [PDF]

, 2012
The behavioral strategies developed by predators to capture and kill their prey are fascinating, notably for predators that forage for prey at, or beyond, the boundaries of their ecosystem.

Genomic Response to Selection for Predatory Behavior in a Mammalian Model of Adaptive Radiation.

Molecular biology and evolution, 2016
If genetic architectures of various quantitative traits are similar, as studies on model organisms suggest, comparable selection pressures should produce similar molecular patterns for various traits.

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.

Predator-Induced Vertical Behavior of a Ctenophore [PDF]

, 2012
Although many studies have focused on Mnemiopsis leidyi predation, little is known about the role of this ctenophore as prey when abundant in native and invaded pelagic systems. We examined the response of the ctenophore M.

The Economics of Predation: What Drives Pricing When There is Learning-by-Doing? [PDF]

, 2014
We formally characterize predatory pricing in a modern industry-dynamics framework that endogenizes competitive advantage and industry structure. As an illustrative example we focus on learning-by-doing.
