Predation Risk and Colony Structure in the Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon Pisum
… in transient or permanent aggregations to reduce individual predation risk. Hamilton's "Selfish Herd" theory states that an individual should assume a central position within a group to decrease individual predation risk relative to that of its neighbors (i.e., individuals should be selfish). This …

Population dynamics of stochastic lattice Lotka-Volterra models
… universality class. Following a sudden predation rate change to its critical value, one finds critical aging for the predator density autocorrelation function that is also governed by universal scaling exponents. This aging scaling signature of the active-to-absorbing state phase …

The feeding ecology and behavior of wigeon (Anas penelope)
… safety from predators. The reduced likelihood of individual predation is also important in producing larger flocks. Finally, the physiology of wigeon digestion was studied. Wigeon have a very rapid throughput time and a low digestive efficiency. The storage of protein in the form of gut -tissue …
