First report of lionfish prey from Western Florida waters as identified by DNA barcoding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 DNA barcoding was used to identify prey fragments recovered from the stomachs of lionfish harvested during the 2016 Sarasota Lionfish Derby. A total of 305 prey fragments were recovered from 50 stomachs (mean = 4.6 per stomach), of which 184 (60.3 ...

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

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 We have investigated the relationship between spotted hyaenas in the south Namib Desert and large herbivorous prey and have summarized an updated overview of predator‐prey relationships in this resource‐limited arid environment.

Prey distribution and foraging preference for tits
ORNITHOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 2002 We examined the abundance and distribution of prey in four different height strata and eight tree species in a temperate forest, and analyzed the influence on foraging preference by three breeding tit (Parus) species. Densities of arthropod prey for tits in canopy foliage varied with tree species but not with height.

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.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Plant Resources as a Factor Altering Emergent Multi-Predator Effects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Multiple predator effects (MPEs) can modify the strength of pest regulation, causing positive or negative deviations from those that are predicted from independent effects of isolated predators.

Mammal Research, 2020 Optimal foraging theory predicts less diverse predator diets with a greater availability of preferred prey. This narrow diet niche should then be dominated by preferred prey, with implications for predator–prey dynamics and prey population ecology.
