A new study documents the complex interactions between cougars and gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park and finds their ...

Individual organisms in a community interact in many different ways. An interaction may benefit both individuals, or the interaction may benefit one organism to the detriment of the other. An ...

Animal survival depends on effective attack and defense strategies, yet how these behaviors arise remains unclear. Addressing ...

Marine reserves are often designed to increase density, biomass, size structure, and biodiversity by prohibiting extractive activities. However, the recovery of predators following the establishment ...

A study investigated thousands of kill sites that provided valuable information about the hunting and feeding behaviors of ...

Aquatic ecosystems present a dynamic interface where habitat selection by organisms and predator-prey interactions intricately shape community structure and ecological processes. In these environments ...

Inspired by clam fishermen reports, researchers used passive acoustic telemetry to gauge the interactions between two highly mobile rays. They monitored the tagged rays in the wild over two years to ...

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 ...

Caterpillars respond defensively to electric fields similar to those emitted by their natural predators, scientists at the University of Bristol have found. In the study, published today in the ...

This novel food web is the first study of its kind to use trophic analysis to examine Morrison Formation ecological interactions.
