The social structure and strategies of delphinids: predictions based on an ecological framework
Dolphins live in complex social grou**s with a wide variety of social strategies. In this
chapter we investigate the role that differing habitats and ecological conditions have played …

Inter‐specific interactions linking predation and scavenging in terrestrial vertebrate assemblages
Predation and scavenging have been classically understood as independent processes,
with predator–prey interactions and scavenger–carrion relationships occurring separately …

Wolf-pack (Canis lupus) hunting strategies emerge from simple rules in computational simulations
We have produced computational simulations of multi-agent systems in which wolf agents
chase prey agents. We show that two simple decentralized rules controlling the movement of …
