type of gigantism include colder temperature, food scarcity, reduced predation pressure and increased dissolved oxygen concentrations in the deep sea. The...

midday and see best in full sun. The crepuscular habit may both reduce predation pressure, increasing the crepuscular populations, and offer better foraging...

The Mesozoic marine revolution was not the first bout of increased predation pressure; that occurred around the end of the Ordovician. There is some evidence...

structuring communities. Intraguild predation may actually benefit the shared prey species by lowering overall predation pressure, particularly if the intermediate...

populations of herbivores exceed historic levels due to reduced hunting or predation pressure. For example, carnivores declined in North America throughout the...

Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. It is one of a family of common feeding...

on invertebrates is reduced predation pressure at high latitude. A study of shallow water brachiopods found that predation was reduced in polar areas relative...

predation is a form of predation in which predators actively give chase to their prey, either solitarily or as a group. It is an alternate predation strategy...

proposed the simple explanation that smaller creatures get larger when predation pressure is relaxed because of the absence of some of the predators of the...

evolutionary pressures exist. Guppies' body sizes are positively correlated with age, and their size at maturation varies highly depending on the predation risk...
