Diet Types Predation, herbivory/grazing, parasitism
Co-evolutionary arm's race
- evolutionary battle leading to co-evolution
Predator Prey - predators evolve mechanisms to increase
predation success and prey evolve mechanisms to
increase survival
, Pursuit, stealth, aggressive mimicry, traps, search
Predator Strategies
image
tracking behavior: predator chases prey
Pursuit interception behavior: predator aims to place itself in
front of prey (to intercept it)
Stealth Cryptic coloration to avoid detection while stalking
Aggressive mimicry mimic signal that prey is drawn to or won't avoid
predators can manipulate objects/alter environment
Traps
to capture/restrain prey
heightened ability to detect specific target with
experience
Search Image - predator can form a search image based on prey
encounters (makes the prey more noticeable and
increases detection rate)
Avoidance, Chemical defenses, behavioral defenses,
Prey Defences
armor and weaponry
run away from predators
crypsis - can match background enviornment
aposematism - can truthfully advertise bad taste or
Avoidance
harmful
mimicry - can falsely advertise that you taste bad or
are harmful
can create your own toxins/poisons
Chemical defenses
can "borrow" toxins from your food
Can behave in ways to either avoid predation or
confuse predators
Behavioral Defenses
many animals form schools or flocks to increase
predator detection and to confuse predators
can have weapons to fight back
Armor and Weaponry
can have armor to protect yourself
