How to study a predator that only eats a few meals a year: high-frequency accelerometry to quantify feeding behaviours of rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp.)
RJ Hanscom, DL DeSantis, JL Hill, T Marbach… - Animal …, 2023 - Springer
Background Many snakes are low-energy predators that use crypsis to ambush their prey.
Most of these species feed very infrequently, are sensitive to the presence of larger …

Body mass is associated with hibernation length, body temperature, and heart rate in free-ranging brown bears
Background Despite centuries of research, debate remains on the scaling of metabolic rate
to mass especially for intraspecific cases. The high variation of body mass within brown …

When death comes: linking predator–prey activity patterns to timing of mortality to understand predation risk
The assumption that activity and foraging are risky for prey underlies many predator–prey
theories and has led to the use of predator–prey activity overlap as a proxy of predation risk …

Behavioural adjustments of predators and prey to wind speed in the boreal forest
Wind speed can have multifaceted effects on organisms including altering thermoregulation,
locomotion, and sensory reception. While forest cover can substantially reduce wind speed …

Simple, universal rules predict trophic interaction strengths
Many critical drivers of ecological systems exhibit regular scaling relationships, yet, often,
the underlying mechanisms explaining these relationships are unknown. Trophic …
