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 ...

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 ...

Impulsive control strategies have emerged as a potent tool in the study of predator–prey interactions and pest management. These approaches combine continuous biological dynamics with sudden, discrete ...

Animal survival depends on effective attack and defense strategies, yet how these behaviors arise remains unclear. Addressing this question, a recent study shows that predator and prey behaviors ...

The curious minds at What If imagine a world where Titanoboa never went extinct, revealing predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem changes.

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?

The curious minds at What If see what would happen if Mosasaurus was still alive, exploring marine ecosystems and predator-prey dynamics.

Towering crocodilians that could rival buses in length once patrolled vast river systems cutting through what is now the ...
