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 ...
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 ...
Lack of functional link in the tadpole morphology induced by predators
(Oxford University Press, 2016-03-16)
Most studies of predator-induced plasticity have focused on documenting how prey species respond to predators by modifying phenotypic traits and how traits correlate with fitness. We have previously shown that Pleurodema ...
Where and when to hunt? Decomposing predation success of an ambush carnivore
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-12)
Predator–prey games emerge when predators and prey dynamically respond to the behavior of one another, driving the outcomes of predator–prey interactions. Predation success is a function of the combined probabilities of ...
Metapopulation oscillations from satiation of predators
(Elsevier Science, 2019-08)
We develop a mathematical model of extinction and coexistence in a generic predator–prey ecosystem composed of two herbivores in asymmetrical competition and a predator of both. With the aim of representing the satiety of ...
