Prey‐driven behavioral habitat use in a low‐energy ambush predator
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Food acquisition is an important modulator of animal behavior and habitat selection that can affect fitness. Optimal foraging theory predicts that predators should select habitat patches to maximize their foraging success and net energy gain, likely ...

Eye-spots in Lepidoptera attract attention in humans [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Many prey species exhibit defensive traits to decrease their chances of predation. Conspicuous eye-spots, concentric rings of contrasting colours, are one type of defensive trait that some species exhibit to deter predators.

Seasonal feeding selectivity of brown trout Salmo trutta in five groundwater-dominated streams
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017 Availability and selection of macroinvertebrate prey is important to explain temporal and spatial variation in growth among stream salmonids. However, few studies contain information to identify such relationships.
