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 ...
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 ...
Invasive ascidians: Do local predators play a key role in colonization success?
(Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society, 2016)
Invasive ascidians are usually considered as pests in the invaded areas including aquaculture facilities. Predation might control the establishment and further colonization depending on the habitat and the predator/prey ...
Warming-induced shifts in amphibian phenology and behavior lead to altered predator-prey dynamics
(Springer, 2019-02)
Climate change induced phenological variation in amphibians can disrupt time-sensitive processes such as breeding, hatching, and metamorphosis, and can consequently alter size-dependent interactions such as predation. ...
Population regulation in large northern herbivores: Evolution, thermodynamics, and large predators
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH Berlin, 2000-12)
Understanding population regulation of large northern herbivores like cervids has important practical and theoretical implications. Corrective measures for high densities of cervids must be based on theory and thus necessitate ...
Trophic ontogenetic shifts of the dragonfly Rhionaeschna variegata: the role of larvae as predators and prey in Andean wetland communities
(Edp Sciences, 2014-03)
Body size strongly influences the type and strength of species interactions. Animals with complex life cycles, such as dragonflies, usually go through different stages that include a variation in body size and may involve ...
Post-dispersal seed predation in Patagonia temperate forest depends on habitat patchiness and seed species
(Springer, 2021-05)
Post dispersal seed predation is a key process regulating plant population dynamics and community composition. Because food preference (i.e. seed species selection) can interact with habitat features such as vegetation ...
Interaction between competitors and predators and its effects on morphological and behavioural defences in Scinax nasicus tadpoles
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013)
Potential of predatory neotropical ladybirds and minute pirate bug on strawberry aphid
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2019-02)
Laboratory trials were performed to determine the impact of three Neotropical predatory coccinellids (Cycloneda sanguinea, Eriopis connexa and Coleomegilla quadrifasciata) and a minute pirate bug (Orius insidiosus) on ...
