Sentence examples for variation of predation from inspiring English sources

Hence, we propose to integrate behavioural changes occurring in response to variation of predation risk within the context of the starvation-predation risk trade-off.

Future research using the consumption model presented in this study can improve upon these estimates of green crab impact by incorporating greater detail on predation rates, shellfish recruitment effects, the variation of predation rate and calorie intake over time, spatial differences in invasion effects, and estimates of total biomass of shellfish in Puget Sound.

"Future research using the consumption model presented in this study can improve upon these estimates of green crab impact by incorporating greater detail on …the variation of predation rate and calorie intake over time, spatial differences in invasion effects…" "There seems to be no allowance for the influence of predator-prey size ratios on the ability of green crabs to attack their prey.

There was also a strong effect of "day" (G2 = 58.27, df = 12, P < 0.0001), which probably reflects variation in predator activity (predation was lighter on rainy days) and a delay in learning.

In this paper we use 22 yr worth of satellite and in-situ data from the northern Benguela upwelling ecosystem to explore the impacts of environmental variation and predation pressure on the abundance and distribution of gobies and their predators.

Number of independent data points for calculation of regular home ranges and the time period during which they were collected varied between individuals because of predation events, variation in the life span of radio collars, length of field season, and dispersal events.

Yet, detailed information on individual and spatio-temporal variation in predation patterns of snow leopards and their kill rates of livestock and wild ungulates are lacking.

Recently, predatory fish such as brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) have been introduced in a few lakes for recreational angling purposes, offering an ideal platform to explore the role of predation on morphological variation in nine-spined sticklebacks.

The effect of predator size and temperature variation during predation trials on standardized selection differentials was examined using permutation multiple regression.

To date heterogeneity has often been used synonymously with variation in predation intensity (that is, the quantity of prey consumed or density of predators), caused by the presence or absence of predators (for example, by seasonal patterns [ 10]).

Spatial variation in predation risk generates a 'landscape of fear', with prey animals modifying their distribution and behaviour in response to this variable predation risk.
