Avian species face intense selective pressure to protect eggs and nestlings from a diverse suite of predators. Nest defence encompasses a spectrum of behaviours, from passive defence such as egg ...
A team of international scientists, led by researchers from the University of Otago, has introduced a new method to improve the accuracy of prey size estimation using footage captured by animal-borne ...
A study published in Water Biology and Security investigated non-consumptive effects by linking prey physiological responses to molecular mechanisms to improve the understanding of predator-prey ...
Researchers used computational simulations to demonstrate how simple sensing and movement rules—such as detection of distance and speed changes—constrain predator–prey interactions. In a simplified ...
More than 350,000 chemicals are used worldwide, and many find their way into the ocean through plastic pollution. As plastics accumulate in coastal waters, they continuously leach bioactive additives ...
Tigers commonly coexist with two smaller potential competitors—leopards and dholes. Top predators like tigers often shape their communities through intraguild predation, and theory suggests that ...

One apex predator does the hunting while another follows behind and takes the leftovers
Scientists have repeatedly documented oceanic whitetip sharks closely following short-fin pilot whales across multiple oceans. At first, the behavior looked like a possible predator-prey interaction, ...
Bite marks on a 2-million-year-old human jaw suggest leopards once hunted people as prey. People likely survived by learning to team up.
