The predatory behavior of Mesocyclops edax: Predator preferences, prey defenses, and starvation-induced changes1
The predatory behavior of field-collected Mesocyclops edax on four different kinds of prey was compared under similar and different predator starvation regimes. Unstarved Mesocyclaps did not consume either the ciliate Rhabdostyla or the cladoceran Bosmina. Increasing starvation in the predator increased the probability of ingestion after encounter for both of these prey. The rotifer Asplanchna ...
متن کاملDynamical behavior of a stage structured prey-predator model
In this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. The stages for prey have been considered. The proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. The model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...
متن کاملInducible defenses in prey intensify predator cannibalism.
Trophic cascades are often a potent force in ecological communities, but abiotic and biotic heterogeneity can diffuse their influence. For example, inducible defenses in many species create variation in prey edibility, and size-structured interactions, such as cannibalism, can shift predator diets away from heterospecific prey. Although both factors diffuse cascade strength by adding heterogene...
متن کاملTurning predator into prey - the problem of predatory journals.
recently, one of us (hr) submitted a paper for consideration to this journal. as per the normal editorial process of the JRCPE, the submission was run through iThenticate, the plagiarism detection software. This revealed no cause for concern. after peer review, the paper was accepted for publication, but during the copyediting and reference checking stage, a paper with the same title and author...
متن کاملDensity-dependent effects of prey defenses and predator offenses.
Defenses protect prey, while offenses arm predators. Some defenses and offenses are constitutive (e.g. tortoise shells), while others are phenotypically plastic and not always expressed (e.g. neckteeth in water fleas). All of them are costly and only adaptive at certain prey densities. Here, I analyse such density-dependent effects, applying a functional response model to categorize defenses an...
