Within the predator–prey relationship, predator behavior is less studied. Even in natural
populations, it shows great diversity, and the factors influencing this are even less known …

Animal behaviour is a composite of innate and learned components. During their lifetimes,
animals typically gain experience and manifest learning, thereby augmenting or modifying …

Mechanistic understanding of piscivore foraging at the individual level is important in order
to understand and make predictions of piscivore effects at population and community levels …

The ability of prey to respond to predators is especially important in human-altered habitats,
where prey are faced with changing predator regimes. A growing body of research has …

Foraging patterns can be flexible for generalists, which benefit from a wide range of food
resources.. Optimal diet theory suggests a selected foraging strategy should maximise …

In order to understand patterns of predator diets and foraging efficiency relative to predator
and prey size, it is essential to determine which particular suite of constraints determines the …

In predator-prey interactions, the efficiency of the predator is dependent on characteristics of
both the predator and the prey, as well as the structure of the environment. In a field …

When prey encounter predators, they use different cues to indicate how to respond to
minimize the predation risk. How such proximate cues in the environment correspond to the …

Living with predators is an unavoidable aspect of life for almost all fishes. The activity
patterns of predators are highly variable over space and time and consequently prey are …

Abstract. Predator recognition by naive prey may be facilitated if a predator's diet
chemically'labels' the predator. In laboratory experiments, naive fathead minnows, exhibited …
