Abstract:
... Differences between individuals in behavioral type (i.e. animal personality) are ecologically and evolutionarily important because they can have significant effects on fitness components such as growth and predation risk. In the present study we are used the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) from an established population in controlled experiments to examine the relationships among pers ...

Abstract:
... Forty years ago, the ‘life‐dinner principle’ was proposed as an example of an asymmetry that may lead prey species to experience stronger selection than their predators, thus accounting for the high frequency with which prey escape alive from interaction with a predator. This principle remains an influential concept in the scientific literature, despite several works suggesting that the concept re ...

Abstract:
... Predation is a ubiquitous and strong selective pressure on living organisms. Transparency is a predation defence widespread in water but rare on land. Some Lepidoptera display transparent patches combined with already cryptic opaque patches. A recent study showed that transparency reduced detectability of aposematic prey with conspicuous patches. However, whether transparency has any effect at red ...

Abstract:

Espinoza-Vergara et al. unveiled a novel transmission mode of Vibrio cholerae based on environmental protozoan predation, which the bacterial pathogen evades via its release in ‘expelled food vacuoles.’ Vacuole-enclosed bacteria are not only fairly protected against environmental stressors, but also show enhanced intestinal colonization fitness upon oral ingestion. ...

Abstract:

We hypothesised that when shrimps are exposed to a situation in which they have to select whether to avoid contamination, seek shelter or protect themselves against predators, they will avoid the situation that supposes a higher cost for their surviv ...

Abstract:

Abstract:
... Magnetoreception is the sense whereby organisms geolocate and navigate in response to the Earth’s magnetic field lines. For decades, magnetotactic bacteria have been the only known magnetoreceptive microorganisms. The magnetotactic behaviour of these aquatic prokaryotes is due to the biomineralization of magnetic crystals. While an old report alleged the existence of microbial algae with similar b ...

Abstract:
... Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) and Burkholderia mallei (Bm) cause the often-lethal infectious diseases melioidosis and glanders, respectively. Curiously, closely related species within the Bp complex share a nearly identical arsenal of virulence traits, yet are harmless to humans. Clues to the origin of virulence in this group can be found in their genetics and ecology. As a resident of the rhizos ...

Abstract:
... Predator–prey interaction strengths can be highly context-dependent. In particular, multiple predator effects (MPEs), variations in predator sex and physical habitat characteristics may affect prey consumption rates and thus the persistence of lower trophic groups. Ephemeral wetlands are transient ecosystems in which predatory copepods can be numerically dominant. We examine the interaction streng ...

Abstract:

Incidental grazing and/or directed predation by local fish assemblages are major sources of dislodgement and mortality for coral nubbins in nurseries. However, the rate of coral nubbin detachment, how this varies across fish taxa, and whether nubbin size a ...

Abstract:
... Extra‐pair paternity (EPP) is a widespread phenomenon in birds. Researchers have long hypothesized that EPP must confer a fitness advantage to extra‐pair offspring (EPO), but empirical support for this hypothesis is definitively mixed. This could be because genetic benefits of EPP only exist in a subset of environmental contexts to which a population is exposed. From 2013 to 2015, we manipulated p ...

Abstract:
... Fish diversity is generally high in drainage networks in perennial systems. On the other hand, little is known about the importance of drainage networks in semiarid regions. The scant attention given to rivers in semiarid regions so far may in part be explained by the high intermittency and low ramification of these drainage networks and their incorrect classification as systems of low diversity a ...

Abstract:

On the stressful Patagonia shores of Argentina, experimental studies concluded that predation does not play a significant ecological role. In the biogeographic transition zone of northern Patagonia, where medium-sized predators (like octopuse ...
