Prey preference follows phylogeny: evolutionary dietary patterns within the marine gastropod group Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The impact of predator-prey interactions on the evolution of many marine invertebrates is poorly understood. Since barriers to genetic exchange are less obvious in the marine realm than in terrestrial or freshwater systems, non-allopatric ...

Prey preferences of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The common chimpanzee Pan troglodytes is the closest extant relative of modern humans and is often used as a model organism to help understand prehistoric human behavior and ecology. Originally presumed herbivorous, chimpanzees have been observed hunting

Prey preference in a kleptoplastic dinoflagellate is linked to photosynthetic performance [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2023 Abstract Dinoflagellates of the family Kryptoperidiniaceae, known as “dinotoms”, possess diatom-derived endosymbionts and contain individuals at three successive evolutionary stages: a transiently maintained kleptoplastic stage; a stage containing multiple permanently maintained diatom endosymbionts; and a further permanent stage ...

Prey preference and prey switching in Anthocoris minki Dohrn (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)
Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2018 The understanding of host specificity of predacious insects is one of the most important problems in the investigation of biological control. Prey preference and the potential for prey switching in Anthocoris minki Dohrn (Hem.: Anthocoridae) was assessed
