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 ...
Where and when to hunt? Decomposing predation success of an ambush carnivore
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-12)
Predator–prey games emerge when predators and prey dynamically respond to the behavior of one another, driving the outcomes of predator–prey interactions. Predation success is a function of the combined probabilities of ...
Community-wide responses to predation risk: Effects of predator hunting mode on herbivores, pollinators, and parasitoids
(2018-01-01)
1. Flower visitation by herbivores and pollinators often occurs simultaneously, but their potential contrasting responses to predation risk are rarely investigated in concert. Predator avoidance behaviour is common in ...
The effect of hunger level on predation dynamics in the spider Nesticodes rufipes: a functional response study
(Springer, 2006-09-01)
It is well known that a predator has the potential to regulate a prey population only if the predator responds to increases in prey density and inflicts greater mortality rates. Predators may cause such density-dependent ...
Aerobic metabolism during predation by a boid snake
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-11-01)
We quantified the oxygen uptake rates ((V) over dot O-2) and time spent, during the constriction, inspection, and ingestion of prey of different relative sizes, by the prey-constricting boid snake Boa constrictor amarali. ...

Stress responses to conspecific visual cues of predation risk in zebrafish
(Peerj Inc, 2017-09-04)
Chemical communication relating to predation risk is a trait common among fish species. Prey fish under threat of predation can signal risk to conspecific fish, which then exhibit defensive responses. Fish also assess ...
