This spider doesn’t run or hide when danger strikes. Instead, it builds a fake version of itself — and predators fall for it.

Impulsive control strategies have emerged as a potent tool in the study of predator–prey interactions and pest management. These approaches combine continuous biological dynamics with sudden, discrete ...

Mathematical modelling has long provided critical insights into the complex interactions between predators and their prey. Traditional approaches, such as the Lotka–Volterra model, lay the foundation ...

Recent evidence suggests predators may change colonization rates of prey in nearby predator-free patches as an example of context-dependent habitat selection. Such remote predator effects can be ...

The hunt is on and a predator finally zeroes in on its prey. The animal consumes the nutritious meal and moves on to forage for its next target. But how much prey does a predator need to consume?
