Behavioural responses of freshwater zooplankton vary according to the different alarm signals of their invertebrate predators
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-09)
Single behavioural interactions between two freshwater planktonic crustaceans and invertebrate predators from different zones of the common environment were studied. The planktonic prey organisms were the cladoceran ...
Flash and grab: Deep-diving southern elephant seals trigger anti-predator flashes in bioluminescent prey
(Company of Biologists, 2020-05)
Bioluminescence, which occurs in approximately 80% of the world's mesopelagic fauna, can take the form of a low-intensity continuous glow (e.g. for counter-illumination or signalling) or fast repetitions of brighter ...
Medium-sized exotic prey create novel food webs: The case of predators and scavengers consuming lagomorphs
(PeerJ Inc., 2016-07)
Food web interactions are key to community structure. The introduction of species can be seen as an uncontrolled experiment of the addition of species. Introduced species lead to multiple changes, frequently threatening ...
Predator-prey interactions between Synbranchus marmoratus (Teleostei: Synbranchidae) and Hypsiboas pulchellus tadpoles (Amphibia: Hylidae): Importance of lateral line in nocturnal predation and effects of fenitrothion exposure
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-11)
Environmental contaminants can disrupt interactions between aquatic species by altering community structure. We explored predator-prey interactions between marbled swamp juvenile eels (Synbranchus marmoratus; predator) and ...
Warming-induced shifts in amphibian phenology and behavior lead to altered predator-prey dynamics
(Springer, 2019-02)
Climate change induced phenological variation in amphibians can disrupt time-sensitive processes such as breeding, hatching, and metamorphosis, and can consequently alter size-dependent interactions such as predation. ...
Unexpected meal: first record of predation upon a potentially neurotoxic sea slug by the European green crab Carcinus maenas
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-12)
An unexpected predator-prey interaction is reported between two successful invasive species in Patagonia, the European green crab Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus, 1758) and the potentially neurotoxic grey side-gilled sea slug ...
Life history traits of the coccinellids Scymnus subvillosus and S. interruptus on their prey Aphis spiraecola and A. gossypii: Implications for biological control of aphids in clementine citrus
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
Predator-prey interactions are not static, but spatially and temporally dynamic. In addition to the climatic conditions and the prey density, the dynamics of predator populations may be influenced by the suitability of ...
On a class of predator-prey models of Gause type with Allee effect and a square-root functional response
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022)
The introduced green crab (Carcinus maenas) as a novel food resource for the opportunistic kelp gull (larus dominicanus) in argentine patagonia
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2020-03)
Introduced species are one of the main threats to biological diversity, but they can also facilitate native species through mechanisms such as trophic subsidy. We quantified the diet of breeding kelp gulls (Larus dominicanus) ...
