A sociobiological model for predatory aggression in chimpanzees
, 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

Competition or Predation? Schumpeterian Rivalry in Network Markets [PDF]
We explore the logic of predation and rules designed to prevent it in markets subject to network effects. Although, as many have informally argued, predatory behavior is plausibly more likely to succeed in such markets, we find that it is particularly ...

Behavior and Predatory Ability of Several Predatory Insects at Different Prey Densities
Jurnal Biologi TropisUnderstanding predator behavior and predation capacity is essential for determining their potential as biological control agents. This study aimed to evaluate the searching time, handling time, and predation ability of three predators Syrphidae larvae, Coccinella sp. larvae, and Curinus coeruleus adults at different prey densities.

Homology in a context dependent predatory behavior in spiders (Araneae)
, 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

Light Mediation of Circadian Predatory Behavior in the Young Alligator
International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2012 Minnow predation by 10 young American alligators ( Alligator mississippiensis ) was systematically measured during four daily time periods under four different conditions of lighting in order to investigate a circadian rhythm of redatory behavior.The four daily time periods were night (1:00 a.m.
