Simple decision rules underlie collaborative hunting in yellow saddle goatfish
TLDR
The findings suggest that coordinated hunting behaviour can result from simple, self-serving decisions in yellow saddle goatfish, which might increase its hunting success or block the prey's escape path under natural conditions. Expand
Coordinated hunting by Cuban boas
Coordinated hunting, in which individual predators relate in time and space to each other’s actions, is uncommon in animals, and is often difficult to distinguish from simply hunting in… Expand
Size does matter: crocodile mothers react more to the voice of smaller offspring
TLDR
It is shown that acoustic communication has a key role in the dynamics of crocodilian’ mother-offspring relationships, and changes in acoustic interactions may go with the break of maternal care as well as dispersal of juvenile crocodilians. Expand
Collective strategies and cyclic dominance in asymmetric predator-prey spatial games.
TLDR
It is shown that the coexistence phase in which collective and individual strategies for each group are present is stable because of an effective, cyclic dominance mechanism similar to a well-studied generalization of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game with four species, a further example of how ubiquitous this coexistence mechanism is. Expand
Reciprocal Intraguild Predation between Alligator mississippiensis (American Alligator) and Elasmobranchii in the Southeastern United States
TLDR
Evidence regarding reciprocal intraguild predation between American Alligators and elasmobranchs is examined and the first evidence of American Alligator depredation of 4 ElasmOBranchii species is provided. Expand
Spatial organization, grouping strategies and cyclic dominance in asymmetric predator-prey games
TLDR
The Lett-Auger-Gaillard model is extended to spatially distributed groups and it is shown that the coexistence phase in which both strategies for each group are present is stable because of an effective, cyclic dominance behavior similar to the Rock-Paper-Scissors game with four species. Expand
The Matter of Non-Avian Reptile Sentience, and Why It “Matters” to Them: A Conceptual, Ethical and Scientific Review
  • M. Learmonth

  • Animals : an open access journal from MDPI
  • 2020
TLDR
It is concluded that non-avian reptiles indeed possess all of the necessary capacities to be classified as sentient beings, at least in the small proportion of reptile species that have actually been empirically investigated so far. Expand
Effect of hunting cooperation and fear in a predator-prey model
Abstract Dynamics of predator-prey systems under the influence of cooperative hunting among predators and the fear thus imposed on the prey population is of great importance from ecological point of… Expand
Cyclic Competition and Percolation in Grouping Predator-Prey Populations
TLDR
The properties of the spatial Lett-Auger-Gaillard model, when different strategies coexist, can be understood through the geometric behavior of clusters involving four effective strategies competing cyclically, without neutral states. Expand
Cooperation delay induced chaos in an ecological system.
TLDR
The impact of time delay during cooperative hunting in a predator-prey model is investigated and it is inferred that depending on the initial population size and the strength of cooperation delay, the populations can exhibit stable coexistence, oscillating coexist, or extinction of the predator species.

Interspecific Communicative and Coordinated Hunting between Groupers and Giant Moray Eels in the Red Sea
TLDR
It is proposed that the potential for monopolisation of carcasses by one partner species represents the main constraint on the evolution of interspecific cooperative hunting for most potentially suitable predator combinations. Expand
Group hunting within the Carnivora: physiological, cognitive and environmental influences on strategy and cooperation
TLDR
Better understanding of the social, cognitive and physical mechanisms underlying cooperative hunting, and indeed establishing to what degree it exists in the first instance, will require more data for multiple individuals and species over many hunts. Expand

  • 2004
TLDR
Individually identified lions (Panthera leo) were observed on the open, semi-arid plains in Namibia to assess cooperation and individual variation in hunting tactics and the role of cooperative hunting is discussed. Expand
COOPERATIVE HUNTING OF JACKDAWS BY THE LANNER FALCON ( FALCO BIARMICUS )
ABST•CT.--Cooperative hunting has been recorded for several subspecies of Lanner Falcon (Falco biarmicus). On average, the success rate for pairs is higher than for single birds. During 1988-90, I… Expand
Cooperative Hunting Harris' Hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus)
TLDR
In New Mexico, Harris' hawks formed hunting parties of two to six individuals in the nonbreeding season that improved capture success and the average energy available per individual enabled hawks to dispatch prey larger than themselves. Expand

TLDR
An apparent coordinated attack by a mated pair of Florida Scrub-Jays on a black racer in southcentral Florida appears to be an example of pair hunting. Expand
Cooperative hunting and meat sharing 400–200 kya at Qesem Cave, Israel
TLDR
The Qesem cut marks are both more abundant and more randomly oriented than those observed in Middle and Upper Paleolithic cases in the Levant, suggesting that more (skilled and unskilled) individuals were directly involved in cutting meat from the bones atQesem Cave. Expand
