Unsuccessful Predation and Evolution
TL;DR: Patterns in antipredatory selection from high to low latitudes and altitudes, from fresh to salt water, and from Paleozoic to Recent time, and accord with previous evidence and predictions are revealed.

The Components of Arthropod Predation: I. The Prey Death-Rate

Aphid ecology: life-cycles, polymorphism, and population regulation.
TL;DR: Aphids are plant sucking bugs which occur throughout the world, and the greatest number of species are in the temperate regions, where few higher plants are free from aphids.

Feeding biology of ant-lion larvae - prey capture, handling and utilization
TL;DR: While the behaviour of ant-lion larvae is consistent with an energy maximizer strategy it is concluded that the approach is of limited value in this instance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraging Costs and Relative Prey Size
TL;DR: It is argued that the relative importance of the three foraging costs is closely correlated with prey size, a comparatively simple variable to measure.

Some characteristics of simple types of predation and parasitism
TL;DR: In an earlier study (Holling, 1959), the basic and subsidiary components of predation were demonstrated in a predator-prey situation involving the predation of sawfly cocoons by small mammals.

Stability in insect host-parasite models
TL;DR: If the simplest case where the parasite population is specific and synchronized temporally with its host population, the following generalized model for a host-parasite interaction is considered.
