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

• OdonataNarrower topic: Both aquatic juveniles and flying adults are active predators.

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

• Sit-and-wait predationNarrower topic: The strategy shapes how predators encounter and capture prey.

• Aerial insectivoreNarrower topic: Aerial insectivory is predation on insects captured during flight.

• 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.

• ParasitoidCompared with: A parasitoid develops in one host rather than killing and consuming multiple prey.

• Plant-animal interactionCompared with: Animal consumption of plant tissue can resemble predation but usually does not kill the plant.

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

• DeinonychusNarrower topic: Deinonychus fossils occur with herbivorous dinosaurs, prompting debate about its hunting behavior.

• 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.

• PseudoscorpionNarrower topic: Pseudoscorpions are small predators that seize arthropods with their pedipalps.

• 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.

• Poison dart frogNarrower topic: Toxicity and warning coloration matter because they alter how predators choose and handle prey.

• Predator defenseNarrower topic: Predation creates the recurring threat that defenses can reduce.

• PufferfishNarrower topic: Pufferfish defenses are adaptations to the risk of being eaten.

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

• CentipedeNarrower topic: Centipedes are active predators that subdue prey with venomous appendages.

• Feeding ecologyCompared with: Predation is one specific feeding interaction within the broader study of animal diets.

• 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.

• MolluscivoryNarrower topic: Molluscivory is a specialized form of predator–prey interaction.

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

• PhytophagyCompared with: Phytophagy usually removes plant parts without killing the whole plant.

• 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.

• Livestock predationNarrower topic: Livestock attacks are predation shaped by the same detection, pursuit, and capture dynamics found in wild prey relationships.

• MachairodontinaeNarrower topic: The subfamily’s anatomy is interpreted in relation to capturing and killing prey.

• Parotoid glandNarrower topic: The gland’s defensive secretions act within encounters between amphibians and predators.

• Raptorial legNarrower topic: Prey capture is the selective function these legs serve.

• Wolf spiderNarrower topic: Their pursuit of insects offers a direct example of terrestrial predation.

• BelostomatidaeNarrower topic: Ambush predation is the family’s defining ecological role.

• Cone snailNarrower topic: Harpoon and venom are specialized means of capturing prey.

• ConstrictorNarrower topic: Constriction is one way predators capture and subdue prey.

• HeterotrophRelated: Predators are heterotrophs that obtain organic matter by consuming prey.

• OxyaenidaeNarrower topic: Oxyaenidae included predators whose anatomy reflects prey capture and meat eating.

• Polynesian ratRelated: Rat predation on eggs, chicks, and invertebrates can alter island food webs.

• SecretarybirdNarrower topic: Secretarybird hunting illustrates how a predator’s anatomy shapes encounters with dangerous prey.

• SolifugaeRelated: Solifuges seize prey with their chelicerae and process it into small pieces.

• Three-spined sticklebackRelated: Predation helps explain why stickleback populations differ in armor and defensive behavior.

• Wildlife foodRelated: Predation supplies animal food and connects prey abundance to predator diets.
