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 ...
Stomach fullness modulates prey size choice in the frillfin goby, Bathygobius soporator
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2012-10-01)
Behaviours related to foraging and feeding in predator-prey systems are fundamental to our understanding of food webs. From the perspective of a predator, the selection of prey size depends upon a number of factors including ...
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 ...
The scent of stress: Pintado catfish differentially respond to chemical cues from stressed conspecifics
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012-01-01)
We examined whether pintado catfish (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans) can discriminate between scents of non-injured conspecifics stressed by a predator or by confinement and how fish use this information in the trade-off ...
Phenotypic variability in byssus thread production of intertidal mussels induced by predators with different feeding strategies
(INTER-RESEARCH, 2008)
Predator-induced defenses have a significant influence on the expression of morphological and behavioral traits of marine species. In mussels, common responses to predators include thickening of the shell, enlargement of ...
Predation on Lesser Bulldog Bat (Noctilio albiventris Noctilionidae) by Great Rufous Woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes major Dendrocolaptidae)
(Wilson Ornithological Soc, 2016-12-01)
The Great Rufous Woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes major) feeds mostly on arthropods, but includes small vertebrates such as amphibians and reptiles in its diet, as well as eggs and nestlings of other songbirds. There are a few ...
