Known Predators of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.) and Their Role in Mitigating, If Not Preventing, Population Outbreaks
Predatory release has long been considered a potential contributor to population outbreaks

Dimensionality of consumer search space drives trophic interaction strengths
Trophic interactions govern biomass fluxes in ecosystems, and stability in food webs.
Knowledge of how trophic interaction strengths are affected by differences among habitats is …

Aggregative response in bats: prey abundance versus habitat
In habitats where prey is either rare or difficult to predict spatiotemporally, such as open
habitats, predators must be adapted to react effectively to variations in prey abundance …

Feeding ecology of large browsing and grazing herbivores
Grazers and browsers are adapted to survive and utilize forage in a wide range of different
environments globally. There are major differences in the forage sources they utilize. These …

Experimental predictions of the functional response of a freshwater fish
GPD Murray, RA Stillman, RE Gozlan, JR Britton - Ethology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The functional response is the relationship between the feeding rate of an animal and its
food density. It is reliant on two basic parameters; the volume searched for prey per unit time …

How vigilance shapes the functional response of herbivores
Herbivores in quest of food have to attend areas where predators also concentrate their
attacks. They have to deal with two conflicting demands, the need of feeding and that of …
