Using freshwater snails and their predators (e.g., crayfish, fish, insects) as a model system, the Hoverman Lab addresses the ecology and evolution of predator-prey interactions (i.e. inducible ...

As in predator-prey interactions, this interaction drives adaptations in both the herbivore and the plant species it eats. For example, to reduce the damage done by herbivores, plants have evolved ...

This project will use an interdisciplinary approach to understand the eco-evolutionary impacts of altered predator-prey interactions of marine species and communities undergoing tropicalisation while ...

That is, the organism (predator or prey) better able to sense the other is more likely to survive in a given predator-prey interaction. Since nonlethal predator effects occur when prey detect and ...

Ecological restoration of predator–prey interaction (chasing flights) between early birds (Longipteryx chaoyangensis) and late Palaeontinidae (Baeocossus fortunatus) in the Early Cretaceous.

“Observations of these predator-prey interactions are rare globally,” according to the new study. “However, records appear to ...

Understanding how animals think, learn and interact with one another can inform the science of ecology, as predator and prey shape their world. The declining salmon and whale numbers raise a ...

Sonic imaging revealed millions of fish killed in epic feeding frenzy.

An AC/DC-loving biologist tests the band’s 1980 assertion that “rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution.” Turns out it can be – and the negative effects of noise can ripple through an ...
