Linked from

The 229 pages that link to Predation, each with the reason it gives.

• Trophic cascadeRelated: Predation transmits many cascades between adjacent trophic levels.

• Biological pest controlRelated: Predators such as lady beetles reduce pest numbers by consuming them.

• CamouflageRelated: Predator-prey interactions create a major evolutionary pressure for concealment.

• Cambrian explosionRelated: Predators and defenses may have accelerated ecological diversification and evolutionary change.

• Food webRelated: Predation forms many of the direct links represented in food webs.

• ForagingRelated: Predation is a foraging strategy shaped by prey availability, handling costs, and danger.

• MetamorphosisRelated: Metamorphic stages face different predators as their size, shape, and habitat change.

• ExoskeletonRelated: External armor can deter predators, while specialized predators evolve ways to breach it.

• Keystone speciesRelated: Predators can regulate abundant prey and indirectly preserve other species.

• BurrowingRelated: Burrows provide refuge but can also make entrances and occupants detectable to predators.

• EcologyRelated: It links consumer and prey populations through direct resource use.

• CarnivoryRelated: Hunting carnivores obtain food by capturing and consuming living prey.

• External fertilizationRelated: Exposed eggs and larvae face predators, contributing to high early-life mortality.

• CountershadingRelated: The concealment value of countershading depends partly on the vision and behavior of predators and prey.

• Bite forceRelated: A predator’s bite can restrain prey, cause injury, or puncture protective tissues.

• CarnivoreRelated: Many carnivores obtain food by killing and eating live prey.

• PrecocialityRelated: Mobile hatchlings can escape some threats, but leaving the nest can expose them to predators.

• CambrianRelated: Predator–prey interactions intensified during the Cambrian and may have driven new defenses.

• Chemical defenseRelated: Predators are a major selective pressure that chemical defenses can reduce.

• NestRelated: Predators create strong selection for concealment, defense, and safer nest sites.

• BurrowRelated: Burrows provide prey with refuge while giving predators specialized opportunities to locate or extract them.

• Alarm callRelated: The danger of being eaten creates the problem alarm calls can help address.

• Island ruleRelated: Changes in predator pressure can alter the costs and benefits of body size.

• PheasantRelated: Predation on eggs, chicks, and adults influences pheasant survival and management.

• Mesozoic Marine RevolutionRelated: Increasing pressure from predators is central to the revolution’s proposed ecological changes.

• AltricialityRelated: Nest-bound offspring can be exposed to predators while parents forage or defend them.

• Food chainRelated: Predation creates many of the feeding links represented in a chain.

• CoelophysisRelated: Coelophysis was a carnivorous theropod, though its exact prey and hunting behavior remain uncertain.

• Crepuscular animalRelated: Dawn and dusk activity can reduce encounters with predators active at other times.

• SerengetiRelated: Lions, hyenas, and other predators track the abundant migrating herbivores.

• Benthic feedingRelated: Many bottom-feeding animals hunt prey living on or within the substrate.

• Diurnal animalRelated: Predators and prey may schedule activity to meet or avoid each other.

• Insular dwarfismRelated: Fewer predators can reduce advantages of large size, especially in some prey populations.

• Nile perchRelated: Nile perch exerts strong top-down pressure by consuming other fish.

• BasilosaurusRelated: Basilosaurus stomach contents and tooth marks reveal its role as a predator.

• DimetrodonRelated: Dimetrodon was a major terrestrial predator in its Early Permian ecosystems.

• Marine ecologyRelated: Predation changes prey abundance and can shape the structure of marine communities.

• Mesopredator releaseRelated: Ordinary predator-prey dynamics alone do not establish that predator decline caused mesopredator growth.

• Community (ecology)Related: Predators can alter prey abundance and indirectly affect other community members.

• EurypteridRelated: Large chelicerae and spines on some eurypterids suited grasping prey.

• Golden eagleRelated: Golden eagles capture mammals and birds using surprise, speed, and powerful talons.

• Cavity-nestingRelated: Predators that reach cavities can sharply reduce breeding success.

• GerridaeRelated: Water striders hunt insects and other small animals stranded at the water surface.

• King crabRelated: Predators threaten king crabs, especially during vulnerable larval and post-molt stages.

• Parental care in amphibiansRelated: Guarding and transport can reduce offspring exposure to predators.

• Sexual dichromatismRelated: Conspicuous colors can increase detection by predators, especially for individuals with exposed displays.

• CaribouRelated: Predators such as wolves influence caribou survival and population dynamics.

• Common ravenRelated: Ravens prey on eggs and young animals as well as scavenging carcasses.

• CreodontaRelated: Predation shaped creodont anatomy and the ecological roles they shared with carnivorans.

• Electric rayRelated: Electric rays use shocks to immobilize prey before swallowing it.
