Intestinal, Body and Tail Plasticity in Rhinella schneideri (Bufonidae) Tadpoles Induced by a Predator Insect (Belostoma elegans)
(Hikari Ltd, 2009-04)
According to the adaptive plasticity hypothesis, predator-induced traits in potential prey animals are expected to have costs for those organisms in predatorfree environments. In this study, we analysed if the intestinal ...
Behavioral responses of wild rodents to owl calls in an austral temperate forest
(MDPI, 2021)
Growing human populations are challenging scientists to find effective ways to
control and mitigate human–wildlife conflict while preserving biodiversity. It has been reported that
predator odor and calls can drive away ...
Caudal fin-nipping by Serrasalmus maculatus (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) in a small water reservoir: seasonal variation and prey selection
(Soc Brasileira Zoologia, Univ Federal Parana, 2015-12-01)
We evaluated how seasonality affects the frequency and intensity of fin-nipping, as well as the fish prey preferences of Serrasalmus maculatus Kner, 1858. The study took place in a small reservoir of the Ribeirao Claro ...

Consuming Costly Prey: Optimal Foraging and the Role of Compensatory Growth
(2021-03-18)
Some prey are exceptionally difficult to digest, and yet even non-specialized animals may consume them—why? Durophagy, the consumption of hard-shelled prey, is thought to require special adaptations for crushing or digesting ...
