Prey behavior, age-dependent vulnerability, and predation rates.
Variation in the temporal pattern of vulnerability can provide important insights into predator-prey relationships and the evolution of antipredator behavior. We illustrate these points with a system that has coyotes (Canis latrans) as a predator and two species of congeneric deer (Odocoileus spp.) as prey. The deer employ different antipredator tactics (aggressive defense vs. flight) that resu...
متن کاملTrait-based diet selection: prey behaviour and morphology predict vulnerability to predation in reef fish communities.
Understanding how predators select their prey can provide important insights into community structure and dynamics. However, the suite of prey species available to a predator is often spatially and temporally variable. As a result, species-specific selectivity data are of limited use for predicting novel predator-prey interactions because they are assemblage specific. We present a method for pr...
متن کاملVulnerability of settling plaice Pleuronectes platessa to predation: effects of developmental stage and alternative prey
Plaice Pleuronectes platessa L. metamorphose when they change from a pelagic to a benthic habitat during settlement. The effect of developmental stage (i.e. before, during and after metamorphosis) on the vulnerability of reared plaice was tested in laboratory experiments with the epibenthic brown shrimp Crangon crangon as predator. The developmental effect was studied in the presence and absenc...
متن کاملPredation vulnerability of planktonic copepods: consequences of predator foraging strategies and prey sensory abilities
We investigated the vulnerability of 2 copepod species (Eurytemora affinis and Temora longicornis) to predation by predators with different foraging modes, three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus juveniles and mysid shrimps Neomysis integer. Copepods were videofilmed escaping from predators and from an artificial flow field, and the results were used in a model of hydrodynamic disturban...
متن کاملInsect Predation, Prey Defense, and Community Structure
W. Wyatt Hoback received a B.A. in Biology from Randolph-Macon College in 1990, a M.S. degree in Biology from Southwest Missouri State University in 1995, and a Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of NebraskaLincoln. For his doctoral degree, Wyatt investigated the physiological ecology of a group of tiger beetles that inhabit Nebraska's eastern salt marshes. Wyatt meshes entomology, physiol...
