Ants Co-Occurring with Predatory Antlions Show Unsuccessful Rescue Behavior towards Captured Nestmates

Journal of insect behavior, 2020
The interaction of antlions and ants is postulated to be a predator-prey interaction in which the involved parties coevolve. Here, we investigated two issues of potential significance in terms of antlions and ants imposing selective pressures on one ...

Predatory behavior under monocular and binocular conditions in the semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionNeohelice granulata crabs live in mudflats where they prey upon smaller crabs. Predatory behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by a dummy moving at ground level in an artificial arena.

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.

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.

"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.

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 ...

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 predatory behavior of the Neotropical social wasp Polybia rejecta [PDF]

Behavioural Processes, 2017
We experimentally studied the predatory behavior of Polybia rejecta (Vespidae, Polistinae, Epiponini) towards 2-88 mm-long insects attracted to a UV light trap. Foragers, which began to hunt at 6:30, selected 4-14 mm-long prey insects. Prey detection by sight by hovering wasps was confirmed using decoys.

Predator avoidance in extremophile fish [PDF]

, 2013
Extreme habitats are often characterized by reduced predation pressures, thus representing refuges for the inhabiting species. The present study was designed to investigate predator avoidance of extremophile populations of Poecilia mexicana and P ...
