Mechanisms of prey size selecon in a suspension feeding copepod, Temora longicornis
(Inter-research, 2014-12-15)
We examined size-dependent prey detection and prey capture in free-swimming Temora longicornis using video observations, particle image velocimetry (PIV), and bottle incubations with phytoplankton prey sizes within the ...
Perceiving the algae: How feeding-current feeding copepods detect their nonmotile prey
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015-03)
Feeding-current feeding copepods detect and capture prey individually, but the mechanism by which nonmotile prey is detected has been unclear. Early reports that copepods detect phytoplankton prey at distances of one body ...
Reply to comment: Prey perception in feeding-current feeding copepods
(Amer Soc Limnology Oceanography, 2016-07)
We reply to the comments of Paffenhöfer and Jiang (2016) who argues that remote chemical prey perception is necessary for feeding‐current feeding copepods to fulfill their nutritional requirements in a dilute ocean, that ...
Fine-scale body and head movements allow to determine prey capture events in the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)
(Springer, 2021-06)
The identification of when, how and where animals feed is essential to estimate the amount of energy they obtain and to study the processes associated with prey search and consumption. We combined the use of animal-borne ...
Influence of Prey Size on the Capture of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the Orb-Web Spider Nephilengys cruentata
(California State University, 2010-01-01)
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the plasticity of the hunting behavior of the spider Nephilengys cruentata (Araneae: Nephilidae) facing different species of social wasps. Considering that wasps can consume ...

Influence of collective feeding on weight gain and size variability of Anelosimus jabaquara Levi 1956 (Araneae : Theridiidae)
(Brill Academic PublishersLeidenHolanda, 2002)
The prey attack behavior of achaearanea tesselata (araneae, theridiidae)
(2006)
The attack behavior of the cobweb spider Achaearanea tesselata (Keyserling 1884) is roughly separated into three sequential steps: descend from the suspended retreat, pass through the sheet threads, and wrap the prey from ...
The effectiveness of post-contact defenses in a prey with no pre-contact detection
(Urban und Fischer VerlagJena, 2013-06)
Most empirical and theoretical papers on prey–predator interactions are for animals with long-range detection, animals that can detect and react to predators long before these touch the prey. Heavy-bodied and chemically ...
