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.

Do lions Panthera leo actively select prey or do prey preferences simply reflect chance responses via evolutionary adaptations to optimal foraging? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Research on coursing predators has revealed that actions throughout the predatory behavioral sequence (using encounter rate, hunting rate, and kill rate as proxy measures of decisions) drive observed prey preferences.

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.

Diversity, 2022 Niche partitioning studies are essential to understand the mechanisms that allow ecologically similar species to coexist. The Rhone streber (Zingel asper) and the European bullhead (Cottus gobio) are both benthic riverine fishes that consume ...

Diet of Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) in Bulgaria: composition, distribution and variation [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The Eastern Imperial Eagle (EIE) is a top predator exploiting different prey in different parts of its distribution. In this study, we summarise data collected over a long period of time (for 25 consecutive years), identifying key prey species in the ...

Prey preferences of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
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
