The effect of prey density on the developmental time of larvae of an aquatic beetle: Tropisternus setiger (Insecta, Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae)
(Springer, 2007-12)
Predaceous larvae of the water scavenger beetle Tropisternus setiger (Germar) are common inhabitants of variable environments in which prey availability may vary widely. We conducted laboratory experiments to assess the ...
Effects of livestock on the feeding ecology of endemic culpeo foxes (Pseudalopex culpaeus smithersi) in central Argentina
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2003)
The effect of hunger level on predation dynamics in the spider Nesticodes rufipes: a functional response study
(Springer, 2006-09-01)
It is well known that a predator has the potential to regulate a prey population only if the predator responds to increases in prey density and inflicts greater mortality rates. Predators may cause such density-dependent ...
Determination of optimal prey for rearing the Tropical Gar Atractosteus tropicus (Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae)

Effect of prey density on intraguild interactions among foliar-and ground-foraging predators of aphids associated with alfalfa crops in Chile: A laboratory assessment
(2011)
Among the aphidophaga guild present in alfalfa [Medicago sativa L. (Fabaceae)], coccinellids forage on aphids most of the time on the foliage and carabids on the ground. The result of their combined effect can be synergistic, ...
Consuming Costly Prey: Optimal Foraging and the Role of Compensatory Growth
(2021-03-18)
Some prey are exceptionally difficult to digest, and yet even non-specialized animals may consume them—why? Durophagy, the consumption of hard-shelled prey, is thought to require special adaptations for crushing or digesting ...
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. ...
