Ventilatory frequency indicates visual recognition of an allopatric predator in naive Nile tilapia
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-01-31)
Perceiving a possible predator may promote physiological changes to support prey 'fight or flight'. In this case, an increase in ventilatory frequency (VF) may be expected, because this is a way to improve oxygen uptake ...
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 ...
Effects of the seed predator Acanthoscelides schrankiae on viability of its host plant Mimosa bimucronata

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, ...
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 ...
Evolution of a predator induced, nonlinear reaction norm
(Royal Society Publishing, 2017)
Inducible, anti-predator traits are a classic example of phenotypic plasticity. Their evolutionary dynamics depend on their genetic basis, the historical pattern of predation risk that populations have experienced and ...
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 ...
Predation-risk effects of predator identity on the foraging behaviors of frugivorous bats
(2013-05-09)
Predators directly and indirectly affect the density and the behavior of prey. These effects may potentially cascade down to lower trophic levels. In this study, we tested the effects of predator calls (playbacks of bird ...

Predator-prey interactions: jaguar predation on caiman in a floodplain forest
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
Advances in the understanding of ecological factors determining predatorprey interactions have provided a strong theoretical background on diet preferences of predators. We examined patterns of jaguar predation on caiman ...
