Newts of the genus Taricha have long been studied due to the powerful neurotoxin found in their skin. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) acts by blocking receptors in sodium channels, ultimately resulting in death via asphyxiation. The only documented predators of species in this genus have been snakes of the genus Thamnophis. Recently, predation on Taricha in Ledson Marsh in Annadel State Park, Santa Rosa, CA was discovered. Predation was in the form of laceration or evisceration, and tracking of predation from 1998-2008 showed that it was male-biased. Two species of Taricha were found living sympatrically a

The complex interaction between predators and their prey is rarely preserved in the fossil record. However, predation of marine mollusks by drilling gastropods leaves a diagnostic hole in the shell of the prey, possibly allowing for quantitative analysis of this ecological interaction. Drilling frequency, as measured in marine mollusks both in the Modern and fossil record, has been heralded as a potential opportunity to quantify these ecological interactions and use these values in the testing of hypotheses. This study employed the collection, tallying, and analysis of bulk samples derived fro

It was traditionally assumed that predator effects were lethally transmitted, however there is now increasing evidence of the importance of their non-consumptive effects. I outline a conceptual framework that integrates both the consumptive and non-consumptive pathways for predator effects on insect herbivores. Using this framework, I aimed to improve our understanding of predator effects on insect herbivores in the Eucalyptus system. First I investigated how the plant traits- leaf age and location- affect predation risk, and also whether this risk varied with type of predator. I found no evid

Over that same range of increasing vegetation densities, predation among small fish remained unchanged, whereas among fish of intermediate size

Predator populations can have significant impacts on prey recruitment success and prey population dynamics through consumption. Young, inexperienced prey are often most vulnerable to predation due to their small size and limited evasion capabilities. to reduce the risk of predation, new recruits and young juveniles typically settle in structured nursery habitats, such as seagrass beds, which promote higher survival by acting as refuges from predators. Thus, successful recruitment to the adult portion of the population is often dependent on the availability of suitable nursery habitat. In this

Benthic invertebrates play important roles as feeding resources for many organisms in different food webs.

Much of the decline of the U.S. sheep industry has been attributed to losses caused by predators. Most predatory losses are inflicted on lambs rather than ewes. Losses have historically ranged from 4-8% of lamb crops, inflicting significant financial loss on ranchers. However, most research providing data on sheep predation is over 20 years old. Changes in the sheep industry as well as predation rates may make previous loss rates inapplicable to current conditions.

Many studies of evolution adopt a unifactorial approach, where a single causal force appearing to account for a majority of the phenotypic variation becomes the focal point of investigation. However, it seems certain that no single force acts to the complete exclusion of other forces, and so multi-factorial studies can make a crucial contribution to our understanding of the evolution of phenotypic variation.

The fact that the monkeys sometimes produce the same calls to predators as well, has not received much attention so far.

Elk (Cervus elaphus) are increasing in fragmented landscapes that result from exurban human development throughout western North America. This problem is increasing human-wildlife conflicts and represents a significant new challenge to wildlife managers. Elk hunting must be intensively managed, if allowed at all, to reduce public relations problems. For example, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks has focused three hunts on a rapidly growing (~11% annually) elk herd in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) of Missoula, Montana, USA. Their goals were to reduce population growth rate,

The character and magnitude of predation by Calliopius laeviusculus on the intertidal eggs of capelin (Mallotus villosus) were examined. Average endobenthic densities at Bryant's Cove (NFLD) in 1988 for both amphipods and capelin eggs during capelin egg development (June 17-August 8) were 0.78 amphipods cm$ sp{-2}$ and 62 eggs cm$ sp{-3}$ (750 cm$ sp{-2}$) respectively. At this average capelin egg density, laboratory results suggest that, on a daily basis, only gut capacity and clearance time limit amphipod predation on eggs. In situ, C. laeviusculus biomass closely tracked capelin egg biomass
