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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Camouflage is the by-product of an evolutionary arms race between one group—the predators—that want to eat another group—the prey. Prey seek to survive by tricking the perceptual and cognitive systems ...

The predatory bacterium Myxococcus xanthus (left) slaughtering its prey (right). Black dots are predator aggregates called fruiting bodies and the rippling waves in the contact zone are characteristic ...
