Search and foraging behaviors from movement data: A comparison of methods
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3593
Abstract: Abstract Search behavior is often used as a proxy for foraging effort within studies of animal movement, despite it being only one part of the foraging process, which also includes prey capture. While methods for… read more here.

Prey capture by the non‐native carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea across sites in Britain and Ireland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9588
Abstract: Abstract The carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea is native to North America, but has been introduced into Europe, where it is now widespread. Understanding of how this species functions in its non‐native range is limited.… read more here.

Tooth length and occlusion in four species of piscivorous fishes: getting a grip on prey
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Environmental Biology of Fishes"
DOI: 10.1007/s10641-020-00991-8
Abstract: Fitness is in part determined by the success of prey capture, often achieved in marine piscivores using teeth to capture and process prey. In ram feeding piscivores, a pattern of monognathic heterodonty has been observed… read more here.

Pitcher plant facilitates prey capture in a sympatric congener
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Plant Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s11258-018-0796-4
Abstract: Carnivorous plants avoid below-ground competition for nitrogen by utilizing an alternative nitrogen resource—invertebrate prey, but it remains unclear if sympatric carnivorous plants compete for prey resources. The aim of this study was to investigate if… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-019-00935-y
Abstract: Herbivory by the specialist herbivore Exyra semicrocea on the carnivorous plant Sarracenia alata results in loss of nutrients and photosynthetic tissue (direct losses) and diminished prey capture (indirect losses). Using a combination of field surveys… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.zool.2016.08.005
Abstract: The ability of predators to modulate prey capture in response to the size, location, and behavior of prey is critical to successful feeding on a variety of prey types. Modulating in response to changes in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0608
Abstract: Tool-use in animals is a complex and rare phenomenon, particularly in insects. Tool-use in assassin bugs has been suggested as several species apply adhesive plant resins to their body, which has been hypothesized to function… read more here.

The Role of Red Leaf Coloration in Prey Capture for Pinguicula planifolia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Southeastern Naturalist"
DOI: 10.1656/058.017.0308
Abstract: Abstract Anthocyanins in the leaves of carnivorous plants are suggested to play a role in prey capture. In this study, we investigated the role of red leaf coloration (an indicator of anthocyanins) on prey capture… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/fluids6030094
Abstract: Choanoflagellates are unicellular microscopic organisms that are believed to be the closest living relatives of animals. They prey on bacteria through the act of the continuous beating of their flagellum, which generates a current through… read more here.
