Beauchamp, Guy.
Social predation how group living benefits predators and prey / [recurso electrónico] : Guy Beauchamp. - London, UK : Elsevier Science, 2013. - 1 online resource (335 pages)
Predators -- Prey -- General considerations.
The classic literature on predation dealt almost exclusively with solitary predators and their prey. Going back to Lotka-Volterra and optimal foraging theory, the theory about predation, including predator-prey population dynamics, was developed for solitary species. Various consequences of sociality for predators have been considered only recently. Similarly, while it was long recognized that prey species can benefit from living in groups, research on the adaptive value of sociality for prey species mostly emerged in the 1970s. The main theme of this book is the various ways that predators.
