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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Trophic cascades : what they are, how they work, and why they matter / John Terborgh, Robert D. Holt, and James A. Estes -- Food chain dynamics and trophic cascades in intertidal habitats / Robert T.

The predator was closing in, and the prey had to make a potentially life-altering choice: find food or flee? That prey was ecologist David Bolduc. And he was one of many other researchers in a forest ...

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?
