Prey limitation drives variation in allometric scaling of predator-prey interactions
(2018-10-01)
Ecologists have long searched for a universal size-scaling constant that governs trophic interactions. Although this is an appealing theoretical concept, predator-prey size ratios (PPSRs) vary strikingly across and within ...
Approach for solving multimodal problems using Genetic Algorithms with Grouped into Species optimized with Predator-Prey
Over recent years, Genetic Algorithms have proven to be an appropriate tool for solving certain problems. However, it does not matter if the search space has several valid solutions, as their classic approach is insufficient. ...
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 ...
Determination of optimal prey for rearing the Tropical Gar Atractosteus tropicus (Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2018)
Influence of Prey Size on the Capture of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the Orb-Web Spider Nephilengys cruentata
(California State University, 2010-01-01)
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the plasticity of the hunting behavior of the spider Nephilengys cruentata (Araneae: Nephilidae) facing different species of social wasps. Considering that wasps can consume ...

Reply to comment: Prey perception in feeding-current feeding copepods
(Amer Soc Limnology Oceanography, 2016-07)
We reply to the comments of Paffenhöfer and Jiang (2016) who argues that remote chemical prey perception is necessary for feeding‐current feeding copepods to fulfill their nutritional requirements in a dilute ocean, that ...
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 ...
Prey choice by Nesticodes rumpes (Araneae, Theridiidae) on Musca domestica (Diptera, Muscidae) and Dermestes ater (Coleoptera, Dermestidae)
(Amer Arachnological Soc, 2006-01-01)
Nesticodes rufipes is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, being strongly associated with humans. However, few behavioral and ecological studies have investigated interspecific interactions between these ...
