Predator–prey

  • 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
    The effects of temperature on the defensive strikes of rattlesnakes
    Malachi D. Whitford, Grace A. Freymiller, Timothy E. Higham, Rulon W. Clark
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223859 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223859 Published 20 July 2020

    Highlighted Article: Viper strike kinematics across a range of ecologically relevant temperatures show that defensive strikes of vipers are affected by temperature, but less than would be expected if the movement was purely muscle-driven.

  • REVIEW
    Using on-board sound recordings to infer behaviour of free-moving wild animals
    Stefan Greif, Yossi Yovel
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb184689 doi: 10.1242/jeb.184689 Published 6 February 2019

    Summary: We review new possibilities for monitoring the behaviour of wild animals in the field using on-board audio recordings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Turning performance of brief squid Lolliguncula brevis during attacks on shrimp and fish
    Rachel A. Jastrebsky, Ian K. Bartol, Paul S. Krueger
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 908-919; doi: 10.1242/jeb.144261

    Summary: Squid display differences in attack strategies and use of turning performance measures depending on the type of prey they encounter.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Multiple sensory modalities used by squid in successful predator evasion throughout ontogeny
    Carly A. York, Ian K. Bartol, Paul S. Krueger
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2870-2879; doi: 10.1242/jeb.140780

    Summary: The lateral line analogue of squid contributes to successful escape response at the earliest life stages and continues to increase successful evasion by aiding visual cues in juvenile and adult squid.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How moths escape bats: predicting outcomes of predator–prey interactions
    Aaron J. Corcoran, William E. Conner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2704-2715; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137638

    Summary: Three-dimensional reconstructions of bat–insect interactions reveal that prey survive chases by escaping into ‘safety zones’ that flank predators.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    The big squeeze: scaling of constriction pressure in two of the world's largest snakes, Python reticulatus and Python molurus bivittatus
    David A. Penning, Schuyler F. Dartez, Brad R. Moon
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3364-3367; doi: 10.1242/jeb.127449

    Summary: Constriction performance increases with size in large pythons, and involves pressures that are high enough to stop the prey's circulation and possibly disrupt neural function in the brain.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Running faster causes disaster: trade-offs between speed, manoeuvrability and motor control when running around corners in northern quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus)
    Melissa L. Wynn, Christofer Clemente, Ami Fadhillah Amir Abdul Nasir, Robbie S. Wilson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 433-439; doi: 10.1242/jeb.111682
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    When hawks attack: animal-borne video studies of goshawk pursuit and prey-evasion strategies
    Suzanne Amador Kane, Andrew H. Fulton, Lee J. Rosenthal
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 212-222; doi: 10.1242/jeb.108597
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Developmental variation in sound production in water and air in the blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus
    Zachary N. Ghahramani, Yasha Mohajer, Michael L. Fine
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 4244-4251; doi: 10.1242/jeb.112946
