Seasonal, spatial and diel partitioning of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) predators and predation in alfalfa fields
(Elsevier, 2014)
Predators are important natural enemies, often responsible for preventing pest population outbreaks of in
many crops. Complementarity in resource use involves spatial or temporal segregation of predators,
which can result ...
Predation and spatial distribution of the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata: An experimental approach
(Elsevier B.V., 1998)
This study reports on an experiment designed to quantify potential predation by birds on the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata in the Columbretes islands (Castellon, Spain). We used plasticine replicas to examine predation ...
Olfactory cues mediating prey-searching behaviour in interacting aphidophagous predators: are semiochemicals key factors in predator-facilitation?
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010-06-21)
Based on their effect on prey populations, predators can interact synergistically, additively, or antagonistically.
Predator attraction by semiochemicals in response to herbivory is well documented; however,
the possibility ...
Disentangling demographic co-effects of predation and pollution on population dynamics
(Blackwell, 2018)
In nature species react to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ecological factors.
Understanding the mechanisms by which these factors interact and drive population
dynamics is a need for understanding and managing ...
Disentangling demographic co-effects of predation and pollution on population dynamics
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 The Authors In nature species react to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ecological factors. Understanding the mechanisms by which these factors interact and drive population dynamics is a need for understanding ...
Variability in the assessment of snake predation risk by Liolaemus lizards
(BLACKWELL VERLAG GMBH, 2004-08)
The ability to assess and respond to predation risk is a strong selective force. Detection of predators is carried out by one or more sensory modalities, but the use of chemoreception has significant advantages. This study ...
Multiple stable states in a model based on predator-induced defenses
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. A large variety of antipredator defenses are exhibited by plants, animals and microbes in nature. A deep understanding of the dynamic consequences of prey responses to predation risk is essential for ...
Assessment of predation risk via illumination level: facultative central place foraging in the cricetid rodent Phyllotis darwini
(Springer-Verlag, 1994)
It is well known that the risk of predation affects prey decision making. However, few studies have been concerned with the cues used by prey to assess this risk. Prey animals may use indirect environmental cues to assess ...
Lizard predation by spiders: A review from the Neotropical and Andean regions
(Wiley, 2020)
Vertebrate predation by invertebrates has been classically underexplored and thus underestimated, despite the fact that many arthropods consume vertebrates. To shed some light on the relevance that spider predation may ...
Adaptive prey behavior and the dynamics of intraguild predation systems
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-09-06)
Intraguild predation constitutes a widespread interaction occurring across different taxa, trophic positions
and ecosystems, and its endogenous dynamical properties have been shown to affect the abundance
and persistence ...
