Predation ability of freshwater crabs: age and prey-specific differences in Trichodactylus borellianus (Brachyura: Trichodactylidae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-06)
Freshwater crabs are rarely represented in food webs and their role in these ecosystems has been largely ignored. Trichodactylus borellianus is an omnivorous crab species that has a diverse natural trophic spectrum. This ...
Seasonal Activity of Bothrops jararaca (Serpentes, Viperidae): Optimizing Foraging while Avoiding Predators
(2021-08-01)
The peak of activity of Bothrops jararaca is in the rainy season. This pitviper feeds mainly on small mammals and is preyed upon by several avian and mammal predators. However, the association between jararaca's seasonal ...
Energetic cost of predation: Aerobic metabolism during prey ingestion by juvenile rattlesnakes, Crotalus durissus
(1999-06-01)
We investigated the cost of prey ingestion in the South American rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus, to see if the capacity to generate energy aerobically could be a constraint on the size of the prey that can be ingested. To ...

Adaptive prey behavior and the dynamics of intraguild predation systems
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-09-06)
Intraguild predation constitutes a widespread interaction occurring across different taxa, trophic positions
and ecosystems, and its endogenous dynamical properties have been shown to affect the abundance
and persistence ...
Geographic variation in the size of mammalian prey taken by White-tailed Kites in the Americas
(Associação Field Ornithologists, 2004-06-01)
I examined the size of small mammal prey taken by White-tailed Kites (Elanus leucurus) in the Americas from data obtained in the literature and unpublished material from southern Brazil. Mean weight of adult small mammal ...

Behavior of Montandoniola confusa Streito & Matocq (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) preying upon gall-forming thrips Gynaikothrips ficorum Marchal (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae)
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-12-01)
The gall-forming thrips Gynaikothrips ficorum Marchal (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is recorded in all regions where its host plant, Ficus microcarpa (Marchal) (Moraceae), has been cultivated as an urban and interior ...
A trophic chain model with the inclusion of a nutrient, a prey and a predator, applied to the Lake Maracaibo ecosystem
(Facultad Experimental de Ciencias de la Universidad del Zulia, 2010)
Prey capture and spatial distribution of Philoponella vittata (Araneae Uloboridae) in host webs
