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.

Prey size preference in the tokay gecko (Gekko gecko)
Behaviour, 2023 Abstract The optimal foraging theory posits that animals aim to maximize energy intake while minimizing predation and handling costs during foraging. Most observed animal behaviour supports this theory, but occasional deviations provide insights into the ecological factors that shape foraging decisions. We tested prey-size preference using a two-choice

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 In a laboratory experiment, we investigated the preference of larvae and adults of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for three aphid species: two essential prey, Acyrthosiphon pisum and Aphis philadelphi, and a toxic prey Aphis ...

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

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

On the methodology of feeding ecology in fish [PDF]
, 2016 Feeding ecology explains predator’s preference to some preys over others in their habitat and their competitions thereof. The subject, as a functional and applied biology, is highly neglected, and in case of fish, a uniform and consistent ...
