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 ...

To better understand the complex interactions between nature’s hunters and hunted, researchers gathered at the the Éco-Laurentides park near Val-Morin, Que., for a game of predator-prey.

Mountain ecosystem research has come to the forefront as regions of exceptional biodiversity, unique ecological dynamics, and ...

Results show that players’ choices echo predator-prey patterns seen in wildlife, though scientists stress the limits of the analogy.

Aquatic ecosystems present a dynamic interface where habitat selection by organisms and predator-prey interactions intricately shape community structure and ecological processes. In these environments ...

Researchers have discovered the oldest known example of a predator-prey “arms race,” based on their study of ancient fossils. This ancient predator-prey relationship took place 517 million years ago ...

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 ...

Just by being around, humans can change how wild animals behave in ways that could put them at risk, according to a new study published in the Journal of Zoology. Understanding the impact of humans on ...

A new study led by researchers at the American Museum of Natural History presents the oldest known example in the fossil record of an evolutionary arms race. These 517-million-year-old predator-prey ...
