DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3074
Abstract: The input of external energy and matter in recipient ecosystems can act as a bottom-up force that subsidizes consumers, with subsequent cascading effects throughout the food web. Depending on the amount of input, dietary preference… read more here.

Contrasting predation pressure of different ground beetles on slugs and their eggs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "BioControl"
DOI: 10.1007/s10526-017-9845-5
Abstract: Slugs such as Deroceras reticulatum Müller (Pulmonata: Agriolimacidae) cause crop losses in temperate regions worldwide. Numerous species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) feed on slugs, but possible interactive effects are poorly known. Here, we compared… read more here.

Predation pressure shapes brain anatomy in the wild

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-017-9901-8
Abstract: There is remarkable diversity in brain anatomy among vertebrates and evidence is accumulating that predatory interactions are crucially important for this diversity. To test this hypothesis, we collected female guppies (Poecilia reticulata) from 16 wild… read more here.

Invasive ascidians: How predators reduce their dominance in artificial structures in cold temperate areas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151459
Abstract: Abstract Artificial structures can provide suitable space for invasive species through a colonisable surface and refuge against predators. Besides several physical factors, invasive species can present different colonization success and dominance on structures that are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox009
Abstract: Abstract Invasive rats (Rattus spp.) are known to have pervasive impacts on island birds, particularly on their nesting success. To conserve or restore bird populations, numerous invasive rat control or eradication projects are undertaken on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jambio/lxad083
Abstract: AIM The present study aimed to investigate the effect of bacterivorous soil protists on plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes of bacterial species and their co-inoculative impact on rice seedling growth. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect… read more here.

Context-dependent insect predation pressure on an avian ectoparasite.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13197
Abstract: Context dependence arises when ecological relationships vary with the conditions under which they are observed. Context dependence of interactions involving parasites is poorly known, even if it is key to understanding host-parasite relationships and food… read more here.

Phenotypic Plasticity in Juvenile Frogs That Experienced Predation Pressure as Tadpoles Does Not Alter Their Locomotory Performance
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Biology"
DOI: 10.3390/biology12030341
Abstract: Simple Summary In this study, we investigated whether predation pressures in the early life history of frogs can result in an anuran-affect behavior response in the later stages of their life history. Tadpoles that undergo… read more here.

Microhabitat preference in American bullfrog tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus) in relation to predation pressure.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Invasions"
DOI: 10.3391/ai.2019.14.3.04
Abstract: Predation risk is among the key forces driving the evolution of escape behaviours and related phenotypes. Successful avoidance of predators results in increased survival rate and fitness. The behavioural response of individuals under predation pressure… read more here.

The relationships between toad behaviour, antipredator defences, and spatial and sexual variation in predation pressure
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12985
Abstract: Background Animal behaviour is under strong selection. Selection on behaviour, however, might not act in isolation from other fitness-related traits. Since predators represent outstanding selective forces, animal behaviour could covary with antipredator defences, such that… read more here.

Coastal fish assemblages and predation pressure in northern-central Chilean Lessonia trabeculata kelp forests and barren grounds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6964
Abstract: Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the globe, which can lead to the spreading of barren grounds. Increased abundances of grazers, mainly due to reduction of their predators, are among the causes of… read more here.
