Climate change will alter the forces of predation and competition in temperate ectotherm food webs. This may increase local extinction rates, change the fate of invasions and impede species ...

Almost all animals eat living things, so in a sense most are predators. We normally restrict the term, though, to cases in which the animal chases and kills its prey. Nevertheless, the models we will ...

Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs of steelhead in the Columbia River, new research suggests. Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs ...

Researchers used a wide-scale acoustic mapping technique to track capelin, left, and cod populations. In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast ...

Engaging students in hands-on inquiry helps them develop skills associated with the scientific process. Development of simple experiments using model caterpillars can provide an experiential ...

Using clay caterpillar replicas as bait for predators, Cornell graduate John Deitsch ’22 found that increased artificial light enhances caterpillar predation. Deitsch graduated from Cornell in 2022 ...

A warming planet means a warming ocean. The seas soak up over 90 percent of the heat humanity traps on Earth. Last year, ocean warming reached a record high. "Unfortunately, I think we're going to ...

In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast of Norway, where a swarm of cod overtook them, consuming over 10 million fish in a few hours. The team ...
