Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs of steelhead in the Columbia River, new research suggests. Caspian terns feeding on young fish have a significant impact on runs ...

Almost all animals eat living things, so in a sense most are predators. We normally restrict the term, though, to cases in which the animal chases and kills its prey. Nevertheless, the models we will ...

Researchers used a wide-scale acoustic mapping technique to track capelin, left, and cod populations. In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast ...

Using clay caterpillar replicas as bait for predators, Cornell graduate John Deitsch ’22 found that increased artificial light enhances caterpillar predation. Deitsch graduated from Cornell in 2022 ...

Engaging students in hands-on inquiry helps them develop skills associated with the scientific process. Development of simple experiments using model caterpillars can provide an experiential ...

A warming planet means a warming ocean. The seas soak up over 90 percent of the heat humanity traps on Earth. Last year, ocean warming reached a record high. "Unfortunately, I think we're going to ...

Senior thesis completed at Trinity College for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Biology. Abstract In this study, the effects of predation risk and thermoregulation cost on the foraging behavior of ...

On an unassuming morning off the Norwegian coast, millions of small fish called capelin began to gather in the ocean. Soon enough, they amassed to 23 million individuals, forming a group over 6 miles ...

In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast of Norway, where a swarm of cod overtook them, consuming over 10 million fish in a few hours. The team ...
