Visual Detection of Speckles in the Fish Xenotoca variata by the Predatory Snake Thamnophis melanogaster in Water of Different Turbidity.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Semi-aquatic snakes integrate visual and chemical stimuli, and prey detection and capture success are therefore linked to the display of visual predatory behavior.

Psychometric Properties and Development of a Scale Designed to Evaluate the Potential of Predatory Violent Behavior

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
The objective of this study was to develop and determine the psychometric properties of an instrument designed to detect traits and behavior that are associated with predatory violent behavior, which is defined as a determined, planned, controlled, and ...

The mechanistic basis of Myxococcus xanthus rippling behavior and its physiological role during predation. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2012
Myxococcus xanthus cells self-organize into periodic bands of traveling waves, termed ripples, during multicellular fruiting body development and predation on other bacteria. To investigate the mechanistic basis of rippling behavior and its physiological

Serotonin Drives Predatory Feeding Behavior via Synchronous Feeding Rhythms in the Nematode Pristionchus pacificus

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Feeding behaviors in a wide range of animals are regulated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, although the exact neural circuits and associated mechanism are often unknown.

MTSS2‐Related Disorder: Refining the Phenotype in Four New Cases and Literature Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MTSS2 encodes a protein highly expressed in the central nervous system, with a crucial role in neurodevelopment. The de novo recurrent variant c.2011C>T (p.Arg671Trp) was first identified in 2022 as cause of Intellectual Developmental Disorder with ocular anomalies and distinctive facial features (OMIM#620086).

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Thyroid‐like hormone signaling in invertebrates and its potential role in initial screening of thyroid hormone system disrupting chemicals

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 63-82, January 2023., 2023
Abstract This review examines the presence and evolution of thyroid‐like systems in selected aquatic invertebrates to determine the potential use of these organisms in screens for vertebrate thyroid hormone axis disrupting chemicals (THADCs). Such a screen might support the phasing out of some vertebrate testing.

Deciphering Unilateral Communication Patterns in Directed Temporal Networks: Network Role Distribution Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In the vast expanse of online communication, identifying unilateral preference patterns can be pivotal in understanding and mitigating risks such as predatory behavior. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to dissect and visualize such patterns in social networks.
