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

The allometry of prey preferences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The distribution of weak and strong non-linear feeding interactions (i.e., functional responses) across the links of complex food webs is critically important for their stability.

Prey-tracking behavior and prey preferences in a tree-climbing firefly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Prey-tracking behavior is common in snail-killing predators, but in the family Lampyridae, this behavior has been validated in only a single species even though this Coleopteran family includes many specialist snail predators.

Small prey fight back: post-capture defences shape prey–predator size relationships [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSize relationships between prey and predators are a key topic in ecology. A positive correlation often exists between the sizes of prey and predators. Although predators can consume much smaller prey, some preferentially target larger prey and avoid very

The Impact of a Range‐Shifting Predator Is Affected by Prey Preference and Composition [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGlobal biodiversity is undergoing a grand reshuffling with species across taxa and biomes shifting their ranges in response to climate change. Research on the ecological impacts of range‐shifting species has prioritized linking the traits of the range ...

Poison frog dietary preference depends on prey type and alkaloid load.
PLoS ONE, 2022 The ability to acquire chemical defenses through the diet has evolved across several major taxa. Chemically defended organisms may need to balance chemical defense acquisition and nutritional quality of prey items.

An objective approach to determining the weight ranges of prey preferred by and accessible to the five large African carnivores. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Broad-scale models describing predator prey preferences serve as useful departure points for understanding predator-prey interactions at finer scales.
