Movement data from wild predator–prey encounters and controlled human catch-tag games have been combined to create realistic ...

Avian species face intense selective pressure to protect eggs and nestlings from a diverse suite of predators. Nest defence encompasses a spectrum of behaviours, from passive defence such as egg ...

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 ...

Predator–prey dynamics within plant–pollinator communities represent a multifaceted network of interactions that influence the evolution, ecology and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. Ambush ...

Wildlife interactions are an intriguing prospect for many people due to the dynamics in play. Unlike human society, wildlife is not dominated by law; everyone has their roles, and they follow them to ...

Predators are typically larger, faster, and more powerful than the animals they hunt. Yet in nature, most attacks fail. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Interpersonal tensions between colleagues can be costly for businesses. Even the spectre of a threat can sap concentration, undermine collaboration and divert huge amounts of mental energy away from ...

Researchers used computational simulations to demonstrate how simple sensing and movement rules—such as detection of distance and speed changes—constrain predator–prey interactions. In a simplified ...
