Chemical recognition in a snake-lizard predator-prey system
(Springer, 2015)
In a predator-prey interaction, the fitnesses of the predator and the prey depend on their abilities to recognize each other, a process that may involve different sensory modalities. Squamate reptiles are highly dependent ...
South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) avoid killer whale (Orcinus orca) predation
(European Association for Aquatic Mammals, 2008-12)
South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) are predictably preyed on by killer whales (Orcinus orca) at their breeding colonies in Peninsula Valdés, Argentina. Captures occur in shallow waters along the coastline. Killer ...
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 ...
Breeding southern house wrens exhibit a threat-sensitive response when exposed to different predator models
(Springer Tokyo, 2017-10)
We assessed the ability of southern house wrens (Troglodytes aedon musculus) to recognize and discriminate different birds of prey. We exposed nesting birds to stuffed specimens of two sympatric predator species, the ...
Percepção dos predadores de ninhos e estratégias anti-predação numa comunidade de aves da Mata Atlântica do estado de São Paulo
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERNCâmpus São Carlos, 2019-04-25)
The main cause of annual variations in bird’s reproductive output is the failure of nests resulted from predation. Eggs exposed in open nests, usually have a wide range of colorations, and may coincide with the color of ...
Behaviour of Robsonella fontaniana in response to a potential predator Conducta de Robsonella fontaniana frente a un depredador potencial
(2012)
Cephalopods have two main defence strategies: the first consists on reducing the odds of being detected by a predator, while the second focuses on avoiding capture. The aim of this study was to understand the basic behavioural ...
Chemical recognition in a snake–lizard predator–prey system
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and ISPA.In a predator–prey interaction, the fitnesses of the predator and the prey depend on their abilities to recognize each other, a process that may involve different sensory ...
Ocean acidification affects predator avoidance behaviour but not prey detection in the early ontogeny of a keystone species.
In a series of laboratory Y-maze experiments, we investigated the directional response of juveniles of the muricid snail Concholepas concholepas, a rocky-shore keystone predator characteristic of the southeastern Pacific ...
Different nest predator guild associated with egg size in the Patagonian temperate forest
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-10-18)
Capsule: Studies of nest predation using artificial nests need to consider the effect of egg size on the types of predator that are detected. Aims: To estimate the nest predation rate in the Patagonian temperate forest and ...
