In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a lab reversed their predator-prey relationship after one species was grown at a lower temperature. In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a ...

Researchers have discovered the oldest known example of a predator-prey “arms race,” based on their study of ancient fossils. This ancient predator-prey relationship took place 517 million years ago ...

Functional response describes the relationship between prey density and the rate at which a predator consumes prey, forming a key concept in understanding predator–prey interactions. It encompasses ...

Reaction-diffusion systems provide a mathematical framework for describing the interplay between local reactive processes and diffusive transport across space. In ecological settings, these models ...

Sarah Hoy spends winter in a small cabin on a remote, snow-covered island colonized by wolves. Drinking water comes from a hole in the ice on Lake Superior, which surrounds the island. A generator ...

To better understand the complex interactions between nature’s hunters and hunted, researchers gathered at the the ...
