Prey morphology and predator sociality drive predator prey preferences [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2016 Predator prey preferences shape the dynamics of predator–prey assemblages. Understanding the determinants of a predator’s prey preferences is therefore important. Trends in prey preferences of the large African predators have been described at a species scale, limiting our ability to assess the influence of prey morphology (size and horns) and predator

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 ...

Prey preference in stoneflies: a comparative analysis of prey vulnerability
Oecologia, 1988Laboratory feeding trials were conducted with the predaceous stonefly Hesperoperla pacifica and a number of mayfly and dipteran prey species to investigate the effects of predator size, and prey size and morphology, on the predator's success. Observations under dim red light permitted estimation of encounter rate (E/min), attack propensity (A/E ...

ON A PREY–PREDATOR–PATHOGEN MODEL WITH PREY PREFERENCE: A THEORETICAL STUDY
Journal of Biological Systems, 2011In the present paper, we study a prey–predator–pathogen model where the prey population suffer from an SI epidemic. The predator is assumed to exercise preferential predation. The prey preference mechanism ranges from predation only on the susceptible or only on the infective to proportional predation on both the prey types.

Prey Preference of Stoneflies: Sedentary vs Mobile Prey
Oikos, 1987We investigated the effects of prey size and type (sedentary vs mobile) on prey preference in a predaceous stonefly, based on choice experiments and observations of the predator-prey interaction. We presented three size classes of black fly larvae (Prosimulium) to various sizes of the perlid stonefly Hesperoperla pacifica in laboratory experiments ...

Forelimb indicators of prey‐size preference in the Felidae
Journal of Morphology, 2009AbstractThe forelimbs, along with the crania, are an essential part of the prey‐killing apparatus in cats. Linear morphometrics of the forelimbs were used to determine the morphological differences between felids that specialize on large prey, small prey, or mixed prey.

Detecting Prey Preferences and Prey Switching
2021AbstractIn this chapter I consider the question of whether predators switch their preference for different types of prey as those prey change in abundance. There are numerous experiments in the literature focusing on this, but generally they have focused on a simplified analysis that ignores the functional response.
