A lush savannah teeming with zebras, gazelles and buffalo may look like an all-you-can eat buffet for lions. But a new Canadian study has revealed a surprise: When prey abound, there are ...

Populations of predators and their prey usually follow predictable cycles. When the number of prey increases -- perhaps as their food supply becomes more abundant -- predator populations also grow.

Most theory in ecology simply assumes that predators eat prey, end of story. The real world is more complicated. But it's not so complicated that we can't get to the bottom of it." ...

Frogs are tailless, slimy-looking amphibians belonging to the order Anura. They mostly have bulgy eyes jutted out from the surrounding surface. Frogs make croaking sounds and have webbed solid hind ...

If you build it, they will come. That's historically been a common approach to species recovery: Grow the prey population first and predators will quickly return. As it turns out, that's not quite ...

Predator-prey cycles are among the fundamental phenomena of ecological systems. In a long-term experiment, an international team of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Bernd Blasius from the University ...
