The Effect of Digestive Capacity on the Intake Rate of Toxic and Non-Toxic Prey in an Ecological Context. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Digestive capacity often limits food intake rate in animals. Many species can flexibly adjust digestive organ mass, enabling them to increase intake rate in times of increased energy requirement and/or scarcity of high-quality prey.

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 ...

Movement patterns of cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ) in farmlands in Botswana [PDF]
, 2016 Botswana has the second highest population of cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) with most living outside protected areas. As a result, many cheetahs are found in farming areas which occasionally results in human-wildlife conflict.

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.

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.

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.
