Differing preferences of Antarctic soil nematodes for microbial prey [PDF]
, 2004 We tested the preferences of three nematode taxa, Geomonhystera villosa, Plectus spp. and Teratocephalus spp., extracted from moss at Signy Island in the Maritime Antarctic, for two microalgae, three microfungi and six heterotrophic bacteria, each also ...

Prey body size mediates the predation risk associated with being "odd" [PDF]
, 2014 Despite selection pressures on prey animals to maintain phenotypically homogeneous groups, variation in phenotype within animal groups is commonly observed.

Prey preferences of notonectids towards larval mosquitoes across prey ontogeny and search area [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2019 AbstractBACKGROUNDPredatory biological control agents can be effective natural means of managing pests, vectors and invasive species. However, the strength of predator–prey interactions can be regulated through context‐dependencies that often remain unquantified.

Predator-induced changes of female mating preferences: innate and experiential effects [PDF]
, 2011 Background: In many species males face a higher predation risk than females because males display elaborate traits that evolved under sexual selection, which may attract not only females but also predators. Females are, therefore, predicted to avoid such

Mammal predator and prey species richness are strongly linked at macroscales [PDF]
, 2013 Predator-prey interactions play an important role for species composition and community dynamics at local scales, but their importance in shaping large-scale gradients of species richness remains unexplored.

The Influence of Signaling Conspecific and Heterospecific Neighbors on Eavesdropper Pressure [PDF]
, 2019 The study of tradeoffs between the attraction of mates and the attraction of eavesdropping predators and parasites has generally focused on a single species of prey, signaling in isolation.

Preference for envenomated rodent prey by rattlesnakes [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1978 Adult specimens of several rattlesnake species which struck and envenomated a mouse or which did not have an opportunity to strike were allowed to choose between an envenomated mouse and one manually killed by the experimenter. Only rattlesnakes that struck a mouse made a choice, and the envenomated mouse was selected most frequently.
