Sentence examples for size prey from inspiring English sources

It was possibly competing with the large canid Protocyon but the jaguar was apparently feeding on smaller size prey.

An informative example is North American canids (Canis), where body size, prey availability, and human landscape modifications may interact and impose local selective pressures.

Moreover, each estimate could be characterized by several factors (i.e., the individual wolf, pack to which the wolf belonged, social status of the wolf [alpha or subordinate], sex, age class [pup, yearling, adult], pack size, prey size [large or small], year [2008 or 2009], and study period [early winter or late winter]).

The general linear model for PA that we attempted to fit to the summer data could not calculate the statistical significance of several factors when all factors were included in the model (i.e., wolf, pack, breeding status, pack size, prey size, year, and month).

These general factors may be associated with body size, prey type, movement rates and patterns, search strategies, temperature, habitat type, and many others possible traits [ 14].

As a highly opportunistic predator, the Eurasian eagle-owl will hunt almost any appropriately sized prey they encounter.

For the other, non-septin preys, we were able to identify the following overall trend: small-size prey proteins tend to be present rather completely, while for the larger proteins, often only a restricted interacting region could be identified.

We speculate that such forces overlap those produced by ideally sized prey.

Using miniaturized data loggers, we recorded fine-scale movement, speed and acceleration of free-ranging cheetahs to measure how hunting dynamics relate to chasing different sized prey.

With the exception of a few omnivorous species, OPM cyprinids and darters are both primarily insectivorous and compete for similarly sized prey [ 31].

As a result of this selective pressure we expect large acoustic variation between competing species in order for them to access different sized prey (e.g. 10 kHz difference in frequency translates into only a small difference in target strength detection; see [ 33, 35]).
