predation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The ander's organ: a mechanism for anti-predator ultrasound in a relict orthopteran
    Charlie Woodrow, Kevin A. Judge, Christian Pulver, Thorin Jonsson, Fernando Montealegre-Z
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 : jeb.237289 doi: 10.1242/jeb.237289 Published 22 December 2020
  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Functional flexibility in a spider's orb web
    Tom Mulder, Beth Mortimer, Fritz Vollrath
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb234070 doi: 10.1242/jeb.234070 Published 9 December 2020

    Summary: Testing of an orb weaver's predation strategy in distorted webs reveals that despite the distortion, spiders remained effective at identifying, locating and capturing prey, but take somewhat longer to do so.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Temperature effects on metabolic scaling of a keystone freshwater crustacean depend on fish-predation regime
    Douglas S. Glazier, Jeffrey P. Gring, Jacob R. Holsopple, Vojsava Gjoni
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232322 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232322 Published 12 November 2020

    Highlighted Article: The metabolic pace of life of a species relates not only to body mass and temperature, but also to predation regime and the interactive effects of all three of these factors.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Greater agility increases probability of survival in the endangered northern quoll
    Miranda Rew-Duffy, Skye F. Cameron, Natalie J. Freeman, Rebecca Wheatley, Jessica M. Latimer, Robbie S. Wilson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb218503 doi: 10.1242/jeb.218503 Published 3 August 2020

    Summary: High agility and body condition are advantageous for survival in female endangered northern quolls; development of predictive models that incorporate both predator and prey locomotor performance will give greater understanding on the vulnerability of native species to introduced predators.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Predator chemical cues decrease attack time and increase metabolic rate in an orb-web spider
    Mohammad Ameri, Darrell J. Kemp, Katherine L. Barry, Marie E. Herberstein
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb212738 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212738 Published 27 November 2019

    Summary: Female orb-web spiders, Argiope keyserlingi, elevate their metabolic rate under the risk of predation, allowing them to respond quicker and spend less time on foraging, reducing their exposure to predators.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Food mobility and the evolution of grasping behaviour: a case study in strepsirrhine primates
    Louise Rachel Peckre, Aurélien Lowie, David Brewer, Erin Ehmke, Kay Welser, Erin Shaw, Christine Wall, Emmanuelle Pouydebat, Anne-Claire Fabre
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb207688 doi: 10.1242/jeb.207688 Published 18 October 2019

    Summary: The frequency of hand grasping across 17 strepsirrhine species increases with a swinging motion of the food, clarifying the role of food mobility in the evolution of grasping hands in primates.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Motion-in-depth perception and prey capture in the praying mantis Sphodromantis lineola
    Vivek Nityananda, Coline Joubier, Jerry Tan, Ghaith Tarawneh, Jenny C. A. Read
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb198614 doi: 10.1242/jeb.198614 Published 31 May 2019

    Summary: Both stereoscopic visual cues and changing luminance cues can enable detection of approaching objects. We show that mantises use looming rather than stereo cues to detect motion-in-depth.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Predatory posture and performance in a precocious larval fish targeting evasive copepods
    Mary C. Fashingbauer, Lillian J. Tuttle, H. Eve Robinson, J. Rudi Strickler, Daniel K. Hartline, Petra H. Lenz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb191411 doi: 10.1242/jeb.191411 Published 9 May 2019

    Highlighted Article: Investigation of a highly modified and previously undescribed fast-start of a larval coral-reef fish, which captures evasive copepod prey as early as 1 day after hatching.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Specialized movement and laterality of fin-biting behaviour in Genyochromis mento in Lake Malawi
    Yuichi Takeuchi, Hiroki Hata, Atsushi Maruyama, Takuto Yamada, Takuma Nishikawa, Makiko Fukui, Richard Zatha, Bosco Rusuwa, Yoichi Oda
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb191676 doi: 10.1242/jeb.191676 Published 1 February 2019

    Summary: Fin-biting cichlids in Lake Malawi exhibit a lateralized preference for side of attack. Predatory fish aiming for prey that show escape behaviours may frequently present lateralized behaviour in predation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Should I stay or should I go? The settlement-inducing protein complex guides barnacle settlement decisions
    Manto Kotsiri, Maria Protopapa, Sofoklis Mouratidis, Michael Zachariadis, Demetrios Vassilakos, Ioannis Kleidas, Martina Samiotaki, Skarlatos G. Dedos
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185348 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185348 Published 20 November 2018

    Summary: Reminiscent of field observations on Balanus balanoides by D. Crisp, F.R.S. in 1961, Amphibalanus amphitrite cyprids behave dose-dependently to the presence of their settlement-inducing protein complex in laboratory conditions.
