Recognizing that predation is a ‘game’ with players simultaneously in motion on both sides of the board helps put the antipredator behavior of prey in context. Ideally, research on predator–prey interactions should combine prey-based and predator-based data collection, but relatively few studies...
To explore divided attention in the context of human foraging, we created an online game that closely mirrored the task demands of our original studies (Kristjánsson et al.,2014; Thornton,2019) while also simulating the risk of predation (Fig.1). Participants were asked to cancel items from ...
Where the future development of the cloud is also considered, this competition between attackers and victims can be modeled in extended game theory. Yet, the attacker and victim costs and benefits, expressed as measures of expense and utility, necessary for game-theory methods are elusive. This ...
Social relationships can have important consequences for fitness in animals. Whilst numerous studies have shown that individuals often join larger groups in response to perceived predation risk (i.e. fear of predation), the importance of predation risk i
raddiana (Save) Brenan, a savannah tree of great potential for forestry and an excellent browse for game and livestock, is heavily infested by the bruchid beetle Bruchidius raddianae Anton & Delobel. The development from egg to beetle, and the various development stages were investigated ...

Predators kill prey thereby affecting prey survival and, in the traditional top-down view of predator limitation, that is their sole effect. Bottom-up food limitation alters the physiological condition of individuals affecting both fecundity and survival. Predators of course also scare prey inducing an...
