Masting has different effects on seed predation by insects and birds in antarctic beech forests with no influence of forest management
(Elsevier Science, 2017-09)
Mast seeding is characteristic of many long-lived tree species and widely proposed as a mechanism to reduce seed predation. However, whether the efficiency of this reproductive response may vary depending on type of seed ...
Nest predator identity and nest predation rates of three songbirds in the Central Andes of south temperate Argentina
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2021-10)
Nest predation is the primary cause of nest failure in passerines. In order to contribute to our understanding of how nest predators shape avian nesting ecology and life history traits, we report nest predator identity and ...
Seed predation by mammals in forest fragments in Monteverde, Costa Rica

Invasive ascidians: How predators reduce their dominance in artificial structures in cold temperate areas
(Elsevier Science, 2020-12)
Artificial structures can provide suitable space for invasive species through a colonisable surface and refuge against predators. Besides several physical factors, invasive species can present different colonization success ...
Behavioural responses of freshwater zooplankton vary according to the different alarm signals of their invertebrate predators
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-09)
Single behavioural interactions between two freshwater planktonic crustaceans and invertebrate predators from different zones of the common environment were studied. The planktonic prey organisms were the cladoceran ...
Predator and floral traits change pollinator behaviour, with consequences for plant fitness
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-12-03)
1. Flower-dwelling predators may interfere in plant–pollinator interactions through changes in pollinator behaviour, leading to a reduction in pollination services. Although the context-dependency of tri-trophic interactions ...
Plasticity of parental care under the risk of predation: how much should parents reduce care?
(The Royal Society, 2013-08)
Predation can be an important agent of natural selection shaping parental care behaviours, and can also favour behavioural plasticity. Parent birds often decrease the rate that they visit the nest to provision offspring ...
Different nest predator guild associated with egg size in the Patagonian temperate forest
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-10-18)
Capsule: Studies of nest predation using artificial nests need to consider the effect of egg size on the types of predator that are detected. Aims: To estimate the nest predation rate in the Patagonian temperate forest and ...
Convergence and divergence in anti-predator displays: A novel approach to quantitative behavioural comparison in snakes
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Animals in nature use many strategies to evade or deter their predators. Within venomous snake mimicry, stereotyped anti-predator behaviours are hypothesized to be effective warning signals under strong selection for ...
