Predators like wolves have an advantage over deer and elk in deep snow. Understanding how different predators navigate snow can inform conservation and management.

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 ...

Every day we encounter wildlife: birds, insects, various mammals, not to mention plants. Humans have transformed so much of the natural world through our cities, towns, neighborhoods, industry, ...

Animal survival depends on effective attack and defense strategies, yet how these behaviors arise remains unclear. Addressing this question, a recent study shows that predator and prey behaviors ...

Global Field Program (GFP) graduate Michael Haughwout '23 of Matawan, New Jersey, was published in Green Teacher magazine. "While studying Cheetah conservation practices in Namibia, I was able to ...

From crabs to caterpillars, a wide range of animals successfully use camouflage to hamper detection by hungry predators. But some concealment strategies are more effective than others, a new study ...

More than 350,000 chemicals are used worldwide, and many find their way into the ocean through plastic pollution. As plastics ...

Researchers used computational simulations to demonstrate how simple sensing and movement rules—such as detection of distance and speed changes—constrain predator–prey interactions. In a simplified ...
