Prey preferences of modern human hunter-gatherers [PDF]
Food Webs, 2021 Abstract Understanding traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyles in our modern world is fundamental to our understanding of their viability, as well as the role of humans as predators in structuring ecosystems. Here, we examine the factors that drive prey preferences of modern hunter-gatherer people by reviewing 85 published studies from 161 tropical ...

Preference alters consumptive effects of predators: top-down effects of a native crab on a system of native and introduced prey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Top-down effects of predators in systems depend on the rate at which predators consume prey, and on predator preferences among available prey. In invaded communities, these parameters might be difficult to predict because ecological relationships are ...

Claw loss and the prey preferences of an invasive crayfish [PDF]
NeoBiotaPredator-prey relationships underpin the stability of ecosystems but can be perturbed by numerous factors, such as biological invasions. Crayfish readily colonize new ecosystems and their impacts can modify food webs or ecosystem functioning.

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2023 Anurans play a central role in food webs, being prey for different vertebrates, like snakes, mammals, fishes, and birds. The snakes from the tribe Tachymenini are known for their preference for preying on anurans, even different animals eventually being

A generalist microbial predator shows innate attraction to more profitable prey, but does not learn from experience [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHow do generalists adjust to variation in prey abundance and profitability and seek out their preferred prey? We investigated this question in the soil protist Dictyostelium discoideum, a generalist predator of many species of bacteria.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Quantifying consumption and prey choice for marine predator species is key to understanding their interaction with prey species, fisheries, and the ecosystem as a whole. However, parameterizing a functional response for large predators can be challenging
