As oceans warm, marine predators are increasingly forced to eat smaller prey, leaving them working harder for less energy.

Hunting is an art form for the squid. These deep-sea creatures evolved to thrive in the darkness and also survive its challenges. In an environment where other fish would be ill-equipped, the squid ...

The hunt is on and a predator finally zeroes in on its prey. The animal consumes the nutritious meal and moves on to forage for its next target. But how much prey does a predator need to consume?

Orcas are among the most versatile and intelligent predators in the ocean. Unlike other marine hunters, they target prey ...

Functional response describes the relationship between prey density and the rate at which a predator consumes prey, forming a key concept in understanding predator–prey interactions. It encompasses ...

Mathematical modelling has long provided critical insights into the complex interactions between predators and their prey. Traditional approaches, such as the Lotka–Volterra model, lay the foundation ...

The predator was closing in, and the prey had to make a potentially life-altering choice: find food or flee? That prey was ecologist David Bolduc. And he was one of many other researchers in a forest ...
