The high prokaryotic mortality in pelagic habitats is caused by both viral lysis and predation by ciliated and flagellated protists. Viral lysis is thought to have the greatest effect on ...

Through detailed analysis of steelhead survival and Caspian tern predation rates, the researchers found that the birds are not only preying on fish that would perish for some other reason ...

Figure 4: T6SS-mediated and bacteriocin-mediated neighbour predation fosters horizontal gene transfer in Vibrio cholerae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, respectively.

In this study, the predation functional response and life table parameters of the minute pirate bug, Orius sauteri (Poppius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), feeding on M. usitatus were measured in the ...

In this emerging paradigm, predation and nonlethal disturbance stimuli create similar trade-offs between avoiding perceived risk and other fitness-enhancing activities, such as feeding, parental care, ...

Lethal methods for controlling predators include hunting, destroying litters of young, poisoning, live-trapping followed by killing, and the use of kill traps. Non-lethal methods include livestock ...
