Abstract: Though predation, productivity (nutrient richness), spatial heterogeneity, and disturbance regimes are known to influence species diversity, interactions between these factors remain largely ...

Almost all animals eat living things, so in a sense most are predators. We normally restrict the term, though, to cases in which the animal chases and kills its prey. Nevertheless, the models we will ...

The fossil record seems to indicate that the diversity of marine creatures increased and decreased over hundreds of millions of years in step with predator-prey encounters. For decades, there has been ...

Researchers used a wide-scale acoustic mapping technique to track capelin, left, and cod populations. In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast ...

Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs of steelhead in the Columbia River, new research suggests. Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs ...

Using clay caterpillar replicas as bait for predators, Cornell graduate John Deitsch ’22 found that increased artificial light enhances caterpillar predation. Deitsch graduated from Cornell in 2022 ...
