Goshawk prey have more bacteria than non-prey.
1. Predators often prey on individuals that are sick or otherwise weakened. Although previous studies have shown higher abundance of parasites in prey, whether prey have elevated loads of micro-organisms remains to be determined. 2. We quantified the abundance of bacteria and fungi on feathers of woodpigeons Columba palumbus L., jays Garrulus glandarius L. and blackbirds Turdus merula L. that e...
متن کاملCan there be more predators than prey?
One of the few general “theorems” of ecology is the statement that in a given habitat there can be no more species present than the number of limiting resources. Our aim is to examine several of the versions of this “theorem” present in the literature, to compare them and to consider the underlying assumptions and definitions so as to decide to what ecological situations the theorem is applicab...
متن کاملMore than the kill: hunters' relationships with landscape and prey
Through a discussion of the perceptions of hunters within a New Zealand tourism context, this paper explores how different perspectives of the ‘connection’ between hunter and prey are performed by participants and analysed by scholars using distinct ethical approaches. It attempts to contribute to the conversation about hunting ethics within the tourism and recreation fields by discussing the l...
متن کاملNon-deterministic Predator-Prey Model with Accelerating Prey
This paper presents a data-driven, nondeterministic model of the dynamics of predator-prey interactions where the prey accelerates to a speed faster than the predator speed. The method proposed in this work predicts the probability of prey survival after a given number of approaches. The work presented here makes no assumptions about the form of the probability density function (PDF) of model p...
متن کاملPrey Should Hide More Randomly When Predator Attacks More Persistently
When being searched for and then (if found) pursued by a predator, a prey has a choice between choosing very randomly among hiding locations so as to be hard to nd or alternatively choosing a location from which it is more likely to successfully ee if found. That is, the prey can choose to be hard to nd or hard to catch, if found. In our model, capture of the prey requires both nding it and...
