Functional response describes the relationship between prey density and the rate at which a predator consumes prey, forming a key concept in understanding predator–prey interactions. It encompasses ...
Researchers have discovered the oldest known example of a predator-prey “arms race,” based on their study of ancient fossils. This ancient predator-prey relationship took place 517 million years ago ...
Results show that players’ choices echo predator-prey patterns seen in wildlife, though scientists stress the limits of the ...
A study published in Water Biology and Security investigated non-consumptive effects by linking prey physiological responses to molecular mechanisms to improve the understanding of predator-prey ...
The predatory bacterium Myxococcus xanthus (left) slaughtering its prey (right). Black dots are predator aggregates called fruiting bodies and the rippling waves in the contact zone are characteristic ...
Mathematical modelling has long provided critical insights into the complex interactions between predators and their prey. Traditional approaches, such as the Lotka–Volterra model, lay the foundation ...
From the smallest and fiercest hunters to mighty beasts of land and sea, here are seven predators that routinely take on ...
