Metabolic plasticity drives mismatches in physiological traits between prey and predator
Metabolic rate, the rate of energy use, underpins key ecological traits of organisms, from development and locomotion to interaction rates between...
-
Predator–Prey Ecology of Dytiscids
Dytiscids are top invertebrate predators in most freshwater habitats, particularly in lentic systems such as wetlands and ponds. Adult and larval...
-
Dynamics of species-rich predator–prey networks and seasonal alternations of core species
In nature, entangled webs of predator–prey interactions constitute the backbones of ecosystems. Uncovering the network architecture of such trophic...
-
Prey killing rate of a generalist predator may be enhanced by macronutrient manipulation
Generalist arthropod predators forage not only to gain energy and nutrients, but also to obtain a balanced intake of macronutrients (the intake...
-
Local and large-scale spatial variation in a marine predator–prey interaction in the southwestern Atlantic
Predator–prey interactions are a key ecological process which can be modified by environmental conditions over a range of spatial scales. Through two...
-
Multiple predator effects are modified by search area and prey size
The strength of trophic and non-trophic interactions in predator–prey dynamics may be modified by predator density/diversity and prey size...
-
Thermal asymmetries influence effects of warming on stage and size-dependent predator–prey interactions
Climate warming directly influences the developmental and feeding rates of organisms. Changes in these rates are likely to have consequences for...

Predator–Prey Interaction Between Xylocoris sordidus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and Enneothrips enigmaticus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
The peanut thrips, Enneothrips enigmaticus (Thysanoptera: Thrypidae), is an important pest of the peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ) in South America. Due to...
-
Using eDNA to understand predator–prey interactions influenced by invasive species
Invasive predatory species may alter population dynamic processes of their prey and impact biological communities and ecosystem processes. Revealing...

Nematode-Trap** Fungi and Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model System for Predator–Prey Interactions
All habitats on earth host various sympatric organisms that interact in different ways. Predator–prey dynamics represent one such mode of...
-
Shifts from cooperative to individual-based predation defense determine microbial predator-prey dynamics
Predation defense is an important feature of predator-prey interactions adding complexity to ecosystem dynamics. Prey organisms have developed...

Effect of diethyl phthalate on predator–prey chemo-ecology in Lepidocephalichthys thermalis
Phthalates, an additive used in the plastics manufacturing industries, are also common pollutants in the aquatic environment. However, little is...
-
Mutual interference as a factor for the cooccurrence and population dynamics of insect predator and mosquito prey system: validating through models
Several models have been proposed as an extension to the classical Holling’s disc equation to evaluate the predator and prey interactions and their...
-
Modeling for Prey-Predator Relation
This chapter is about the prey-predator dynamics model that is very popular topics in ecology and mathematical biology. In this book, we shall see...
-
Mismatches in thermal performance between ectothermic predators and prey alter interaction strength and top-down control
Climate change can alter predator–prey interactions when predators and prey have different thermal preferences as temperature change can exacerbate...
-
Localized coevolution between microbial predator and prey alters community-wide gene expression and ecosystem function
Closely interacting microbial species pairs (e.g., predator and prey) can become coadapted via reciprocal natural selection. A fundamental challenge...
-
Density-dependent predation and predator preference for native prey may facilitate an invasive crab’s escape from natural enemies
Native predators can confer biotic resistance through consumption of invasive prey. However, early in the invasion process, native predators may...
-
Evidence for an innate basis of prey preference in a desert ambush predator
Chemical eavesdrop** is a critical tool used by organisms to gain information about their environment and mediate interactions with other organisms...
-
Temperature and prey morphology influence attack rate and handling time in a predator–prey interaction
Functional responses describe how the proportion of prey consumed by a predator changes as prey density changes. For predators consuming a single...
-
Prey availability influences the effect of boldness on reproductive success in a mammalian predator
AbstractBoldness is an important trait in wild populations, and among-individual differences can link to individual fitness. The strength and...
