Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

Placing shelter is an effective way to mitigate cannibalism in the pond culture of swimming
crab (Portunus trituberculatus). However, it is still unclear what shape of shelter the crabs …

Although marine heatwaves pose urgent threats to marine life, our understanding of how
these events influence interactions between key species in marine ecosystems is still …

Agonistic behaviours and cannibalism are key factors that restrict increases in the
production of crab aquaculture. To explore the effects of feeding strategies on the boldness …

Background: Anxiety refers to the pathological persistence and intensification of emotional
responses to danger, affecting health from psychological and physical aspects. Serotonin is …

To examine the variation of multiple predator effects and functional response caused by
interaction of conspecific predators under different prey density, we established swimming …

Although local species usually suffer from starvation during the early stage of marine
ranching construction, few studies focus on the effects of starvation on predation and …

Climate change and anthropological activities have led to an expansion of hypoxia into the
natural habitat of Cancer irroratus. In this study, we examined the effects of hypoxia and food …

Although constructions for marine ranching may influence the local habitat, few studies have
focused on the effect of substrate changes on the predator–prey relationship in the benthic …

The presence of multiple predators can lead to variation in predator behavior and ultimately
altered risk for shared prey. This concept has seldom been accounted for in studies that …
