Where and when to hunt? Decomposing predation success of an ambush carnivore

JA Smith, E Donadio, OR Bidder, JN Pauli, MJ Sheriff… - Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Predator–prey games emerge when predators and prey dynamically respond to the
behavior of one another, driving the outcomes of predator–prey interactions. Predation …

Beyond spatial overlap: harnessing new technologies to resolve the complexities of predator–prey interactions

JP Suraci, JA Smith, S Chamaillé‐Jammes, KM Gaynor… - Oikos, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Informational constraints on predator–prey interactions

BT Martin, MA Gil, AK Fahimipour, AM Hein - Oikos, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The rates of interactions between predators and prey are fundamental to population and
food web dynamics. Yet, most ecological theory of predator–prey interaction rates deals …

Habitat selection when killing primary versus alternative prey species supports prey specialization in an apex predator

B Cristescu, S Bose, LM Elbroch, ML Allen… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Many predators specialize on one or several prey species that they select from the range of
potential prey. Predator specialization on primary versus alternative prey is driven in part by …

Integrating temporal refugia into landscapes of fear: prey exploit predator downtimes to forage in risky places

JA Smith, E Donadio, JN Pauli, MJ Sheriff… - Oecologia, 2019 - Springer
The landscape of fear is an important driver of prey space use. However, prey can navigate
the landscape of fear by exploiting temporal refuges from predation risk. We hypothesized …

Contrasting patterns of risk from human and non‐human predators shape temporal activity of prey

KM Gaynor, A McInturff… - Journal of Animal …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Spatiotemporal variation in predation risk arises from interactions between landscape
heterogeneity, predator densities and predator hunting mode, generating landscapes of fear …

Spatial responses to predators vary with prey escape mode

AJ Wirsing, KE Cameron, MR Heithaus - Animal Behaviour, 2010 - Elsevier
Prey often avoid their predators but may, under certain conditions, remain in or even shift to
space where predators are relatively abundant when threatened. Here, we review studies of …

Derivation of predator functional responses using a mechanistic approach in a natural system

A Beardsell, D Gravel, D Berteaux… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
The functional response is at the core of any predator-prey interactions as it establishes the
link between trophic levels. The use of inaccurate functional response can profoundly affect …

Multi‐behavioral strategies in a predator–prey game: an evolutionary algorithm analysis

WA Mitchell - Oikos, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Behavioral games between predators and prey often involve two sub‐games:'pre‐
encounter'games affecting the rate of encounter between predators and prey (eg predator …

Temporal activity patterns of predators and prey across broad geographic scales

SDJ Lang, RP Mann, DR Farine - Behavioral Ecology, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Predators and prey are locked in an evolutionary arms race that shapes their behavior and
life history. Predators target prey vulnerabilities to maximize hunting success, while prey …
