The effect of refuge on Dermestes ater (Coleoptera : Dermestidae) predation on Musca domestica (Diptera : Muscidae): Refuge for prey or the predator?
(Springer, 2006-11-01)
It is believed that habitat heterogeneity can change the extent of predator-prey interactions. Therefore, in this study we examined the effect of habitat heterogeneity (characterized here as an addition of refuge) on D. ...
The peculiar case of an insectivorous iguanid lizard that detects chemical cues from prey
(2007)
Ecological and phylogenetic factors determine which sensory modalities organisms use in their day-to-day activities. Among lizards, empirical studies indicate a tight association between foraging strategies and the ability ...
Sliding Shilnikov connection in Filippov-type predator–prey model
(2020-05-01)
Recently, a piecewise smooth differential system was derived as a model of a 1 predator–2 prey interaction where the predator feeds adaptively on its preferred prey and an alternative prey. In such a model, strong evidence ...
DOUBLE ALLEE EFFECTS ON PREY IN A MODIFIED ROSENZWEIG-MACARTHUR PREDATOR-PREY MODEL
(SPRINGER, 2014)
In this work, a modified Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey model is analyzed, which is a particular Gause type model, considering two Allee effect affecting the prey population.
This phenomenon may be expressed by different ...
SMALL MAMMAL PREY SELECTION BY TWO OWL SPECIES IN SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
(RAPTOR RESEARCH FOUNDATION INC, 2008)
A variety of factors influence prey selection by predators. Because Barn Owls (Tyto alba) and Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) differ in size and foraging tactics, we expected differential predation on small mammal prey. ...
The role of predator overlap in the robustness and extinction of a four species predator-prey network
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Predators and preys often form species networks with asymmetric patterns of interaction. We study the dynamics of a four species network consisting of two weakly connected predator-prey pairs. We focus our analysis on the ...
Foraging by Polybia (Trichothorax) ignobilis (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) on flies at animal carcasses
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2007-07-01)
Foraging by Polybia (Trichothorax) ignobilis (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) on flies at animal carcasses. Proteins for brood nutrition of social wasps are obtained from many prey, including insects (even bees and other wasps), ...
Behavior of Ectatomma brunneum (Formicidae: Ectatomminae) Preying on Dipterans in Field Conditions
(California State University, 2009-01-01)
Behavioral traits of foraging activity in social insects require complex interactions between workers and the environmental conditions. The behavioral repertoire of foraging strategies depends on biotic factors, such as ...
