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 ...
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. ...

An opportunist predator hidden in the vegetation: on the predation of birds by Philodryas olfersii (Serpentes: Dipsadidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-01-01)
Snakes are common predators of birds. However, reported cases of snake predation on Troglodytes musculus are scarce. Here, we report a predation attempt of a Troglodytes musculus nestling by the dipsadid snake Philodryas ...
