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 ...

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

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 ...

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?

Octopuses, intelligent and agile predators, typically overpower crabs using their flexible arms, sharp beaks, and problem-solving skills. Crabs rely on their hard shells and strong claws for defense, ...

Humans should focus on the "interest", not the "capital" in the system - say the authors Humans' status as a unique super-predator is laid bare in a new study published in Science magazine. The ...
