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 ...
Foliar and ground-foraging predators of aphids associated with alfalfa crops in Chile: Are they good or bad partners?
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2007)
Carabids and coccinellids are the most abundant aphid predators in alfalfa. Depending on the amount of prey consumed, the impact of their combined effect can be additive, antagonistic, or synergistic. Laboratory trials ...
Anurans as prey: an exploratory analysis and size relationships between predators and their prey
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-02-01)
The vertebrate predators of post-metamorphic anurans were quantified and the predator-prey relationship was investigated by analysing the relative size of invertebrate predators and anurans. More than 100 vertebrate predators ...

Black sea urchins evaluate predation risk using chemical signals from a predator and injured con- and heterospecific prey
(Inter-research, 2011-01-01)
The traits related to foraging and eating are crucial to our understanding of food webs. The use of signals to detect predators has strong relevance for prey survival. The black sea urchin Echinometra lucunter cohabits ...

Lack of response of an open-habitat ungulate to the presence of predator urine

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. ...
