Does Urbanization Affect Predation of Bird Nests? A Meta-Analysis
Urbanization can affect interspecific interactions such as predator-prey relationships. Several hypotheses have been postulated to predict how predation on bird nests changes along urbanization gradients; some predict increased and others decreased predation pressures in urban compared to rural habitats. Using a formal meta-analytical approach, we carried out a systematic literature review to t...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Aerobic metabolism during predation by a boid snake.
We quantified the oxygen uptake rates (VO(2)) and time spent, during the constriction, inspection, and ingestion of prey of different relative sizes, by the prey-constricting boid snake Boa constrictor amarali. Time spent in prey constriction varied from 7.6 to 16.3 min, and VO(2) during prey constriction increased 6.8-fold above resting values. This was the most energy expensive predation phas...
متن کاملVertical heterogeneity in predation pressure in a temperate forest canopy
The forest canopy offers a vertical gradient across which variation in predation pressure implies variation in refuge quality for arthropods. Direct and indirect experimental approaches were combined to assess whether canopy strata differ in ability to offer refuge to various arthropod groups. Vertical heterogeneity in impact of avian predators was quantified using exclosure cages in the unders...
متن کاملPredation on Artificial Nests in Hurricane- Created Gaps and Adjacent Forest of the Southern Appalachians
Alxtruct: Predation rates were compared during three 7-day trials on 742 artificial ground nests located in 10 hurricane-created canopy gaps and IO adjacent closed-canopy controls in the southern Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. White northern bobwhite (Cdinus virginianus) eggs were used in trials 1 and 2, but brown-speckled Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturr~ix) eggs were used in trial 3 ...
