Predator facilitation or interference: a game of vipers and owls by Embar, Keren, Raveh, Ashael, Hoffmann, Ishai, Kotler, Burt P.

“…In predator–prey foraging games, the prey's reaction to one type of predator may either facilitate or hinder the success of another predator. We ask, do…”

Everybody loses: intraspecific competition induces tragedy of the commons in Allenby's gerbils by Berger-Tal, Oded, Embar, Keren, Kotler, Burt P., Saltz, David

“…Interference competition may lead to a tragedy of the commons in which individuals driven by self-interest reduce the fitness of the entire group. We…”

Risk management in optimal foragers: the effect of sightlines and predator type on patch use, time allocation, and vigilance in gerbils by Embar, Keren, Kotler, Burt P., Mukherjee, Shomen

“…In the foraging game between gerbils and their predators, gerbils manage risk of predation using the tools of time allocation (where, when and for how long to…”

To dare or not to dare? Risk management by owls in a predator–prey foraging game by Embar, Keren, Raveh, Ashael, Burns, Darren, Kotler, Burt P.

What do predators really want? The role of gerbil energetic state in determining prey choice by Barn Owls by Embar, Keren, Mukherjee, Shomen, Kotler, Burt P

“…In predator-prey foraging games, predators should respond to variations in prey state. The value of energy for the prey changes depending on season. Prey in a…”

Novel predator recognition by Allenby's gerbil (Gerbillus andersoni allenbyi): do gerbils learn to respond to a snake that can “see” in the dark? by Bleicher, Sonny S, Brown, Joel S, Embar, Keren, Kotler, Burt P

“…Unlike desert rodents from North America, Allenby's gerbil (Gerbillus andersoni allenbyi) from the Negev Desert, Israel has evolved with snakes that do not…”

Predators risk injury too: the evolution of derring-do in a predator–prey foraging game by Brown, Joel S, Embar, Keren, Hancock, Eric, Kotler, Burt P

“…Derring-do is how aggressive a predator is in stalking and capturing prey. We model predator–prey interactions in which prey adjust vigilance behavior to…”
