BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: Processes: Predation • 1 BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: Processes: Predation • 1. Lecture summary: – Horizontal & vertical interactions. – Vertical Henri Rousseau, The sleeping gypsy” 1897, MMA, New York interactions: – Predation: • Classifications • Defense Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 1 2. The basic nature of interactions within and between trophic levels: • Horizontal interactions within a trophic level: – competition > amensalism > commensalism > mutualism • Vertical interactions between trophic levels: – Predation / parasitism / herbivory > mutualism Malcolm (1992) Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 2 3. Summary of ecological interactions: Interaction Species 1 Species 2 a) Horizontal competition - - amensalism - 0 commensalism 0 + mutualism + + b) Vertical predation - + parasitism - + herbivory - + mutualism + + • NB neutralism is really an irrelevant 0/0 interaction; and it is also important to realize that herbivores are usually the prey or hosts for predators and parasites Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 3 1 4. Vertical trophic interactions can be divided into two basic kinds: • (1) Consumers that do not kill their food – these are the parasites which include pathogens and herbivores - neither of which completely consume their food hosts. • (2) Consumers that do kill their food – these are the predators which include typical animal predators as well as insectivorous plants and seed-eating animals like birds, small mammals and insects. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 4 5. Predation: • Predation is a +/- or “exploitative” interaction between consumers and the things they consume. – Consumers affect the distribution and abundance of what they consume and vice versa. • Predation is consumption of one organism (the prey) by another organism (the predator), in which the prey is alive when the predator first attacks it. – This excludes detritivory as feeding on dead organic matter Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 5 6. Predation • Taxonomic classification (trivial): – Carnivores consume animals. – Herbivores consume plants. – Omnivores consume both plants and animals. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 6 2 7. Predation • Functional classification: • True predators: – kill and consume prey immediately; kill many prey. – like lions and seed-eating beetles. • Grazers: – attack many "prey"; rarely lethal; only partially consume. – like sheep and mosquitoes. • Parasites: – attack few or single "prey"; rarely lethal; only partially consume. – micro & macroparasites - measles, tapeworms, gall wasps & aphids. • Parasitoids: – attack single "prey", always lethal, complete consumption. • This is why Begon et al. (2006) consider herbivory as a subset of predation - mostly as plant grazers, but also as plant parasites. • Because there are important differences between predators and herbivores, herbivory will be considered in more detail in lecture 11! Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 7 8. The effect of predation on prey populations: • Predators should be harmful to prey populations because they attack and kill individual prey, but this may not be true for 2 reasons: – 1) killed individuals may not be a random sample of the population and may be those with lowest fitness (old, young or sick individuals) see Fig. 9.9. – 2) there may be compensatory changes in growth, survival or reproduction of surviving prey. • e.g. recruitment curves in Fig. 5.10b indicate that predation of high density individuals should lead to increased growth and reproduction - but at low density the effect could be reversed (this influences resource harvesting) Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 8 9. Prey as food resources for Predators: • Increased food consumption leads to increased rates of growth, development & birth, and decreased rates of mortality - above a metabolic maintenance threshold and below a satiation threshold – Fig. 8.10 (3rd ed.) (a) Linyphiid spider (b) Daphnia water flea. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 9 3 10. Prey defense: • Predator satiation: – Predator satiation suggests that some prey may target this as a defense against being consumed - and so they evolve mechanisms to synchronize their peak periods of population abundance: • Like periodical cicadas (Magicicada) in which there are twelve, 17-year and three, 13-year broods currently in existence in eastern North America: – see cover, Table 1 and Fig. 1 from Heliövaara et al. 1994,Trends in Ecology & Evolution 9(12): 476 Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 7: slide 10 11. Prey defense: • Masting: • Fruit/seed masting in trees (Fig. 8.11), and inverse density dependence in Fig. 8.12 to show that predators may not track prey food resources when they fluctuate (Fig. 9.12) unless they have short generation times. • Nutritional quality: • Prey may reduce their nutritional quality by dilution or other means such as toxins or digestibility-reducing chemicals. • see protein availability for wildebeest in Fig. 9.13 - which argues for predator foraging behaviors; to be considered next time ...… Dr. S.

  • Predators As Agents of Selection and Diversification
    diversity Review Predators as Agents of Selection and Diversification Jerald B. Johnson * and Mark C. Belk Evolutionary Ecology Laboratories, Department of Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-801-422-4502 Received: 6 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: Predation is ubiquitous in nature and can be an important component of both ecological and evolutionary interactions. One of the most striking features of predators is how often they cause evolutionary diversification in natural systems. Here, we review several ways that this can occur, exploring empirical evidence and suggesting promising areas for future work. We also introduce several papers recently accepted in Diversity that demonstrate just how important and varied predation can be as an agent of natural selection. We conclude that there is still much to be done in this field, especially in areas where multiple predator species prey upon common prey, in certain taxonomic groups where we still know very little, and in an overall effort to actually quantify mortality rates and the strength of natural selection in the wild. Keywords: adaptation; mortality rates; natural selection; predation; prey 1. Introduction In the history of life, a key evolutionary innovation was the ability of some organisms to acquire energy and nutrients by killing and consuming other organisms [1–3]. This phenomenon of predation has evolved independently, multiple times across all known major lineages of life, both extinct and extant [1,2,4]. Quite simply, predators are ubiquitous agents of natural selection. Not surprisingly, prey species have evolved a variety of traits to avoid predation, including traits to avoid detection [4–6], to escape from predators [4,7], to withstand harm from attack [4], to deter predators [4,8], and to confuse or deceive predators [4,8].

  • Aliens, Predators and Global Issues: the Evolution of a Narrative Formula
    CULTURA , LENGUAJE Y REPRESENTACIÓN / CULTURE , LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION ˙ ISSN 1697-7750 · VOL . VIII \ 2010, pp. 43-55 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I Aliens, Predators and Global Issues: The Evolution of a Narrative Formula ZELMA CATALAN SOFIA UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT : The article tackles the genre of science fiction in film by focusing on the Alien and Predator series and their crossover. By resorting to “the fictional worlds” theory (Dolezel, 1998), the relationship between the fictional and the real is examined so as to show how these films refract political issues in various symbolic ways, with special reference to the ideological construct of “global threat”. Keywords: film, science fiction, narrative, allegory, otherness, fictional worlds. RESUMEN : en este artículo se aborda el género de la ciencia ficción en el cine mediante el análisis de las películas de la serie Alien y Predator y su combinación. Utilizando la teoría de “los mundos ficcionales” (Dolezel, 1999), se examina la relación entre los planos ficcional y real para mostrar cómo estas películas reflejan cuestiones políticas de diversas formas simbólicas, con especial referencia a la construccción ideológica de la “amenaza global”. Palabras clave: film, ciencia ficción, narrativa, alegoría, alteridad, mundos fic- cionales In 2004 20th Century Fox released Alien vs. Predator, directed by Paul Anderson and starring Sanaa Latham, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova and Ewen Bremmer. The film combined and continued two highly successful film series: those of the 1979 Alien and its three successors Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992) and Alien Resurrection (1997), and of the two Predator movies, from 1987 and 1990 respectively.

Set immediately after the events of the previous film, the Predalien hybrid aboard the Predator scout ship, having just separated from the mothership shown in the previous film, has grown to full adult size and sets about killing the Predators aboard the ship, causing it to crash in the small town of Gunnison, Colorado. In , Sega released a reboot, Aliens vs. The first featured Paul W. Predator: Requiem , directed by the Brothers Strause , and the development of a third film has been delayed indefinitely. Marines carry a wide arsenal including pulse rifles , flamethrowers, and auto-tracking smartguns. Archived from the original on December 19, Production began in late at Barrandov Studios in Prague, Czech Republic , where most of the filming took place. After the release of Alien 3 , Sigourney Weaver commented on her apparent exit from the franchise, joking that "they'd probably find a way to resurrect Ripley using the DNA in her fingernails". Soon, the team realize that only one species can win. No minimum to No maximum. However, the United States Marine Corps are humanity's last line of defense, and as such they are armed to the teeth with the very latest in high explosive and automatic weaponry.

  • Sexuality in the Horror Soundtrack (1968-1981)
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Monstrous Resonance: Sexuality in the Horror Soundtrack (1968-1981) A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Morgan Fifield Woolsey 2018 © Copyright by Morgan Fifield Woolsey 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Monstrous Resonance: Sexuality in the Horror Soundtrack (1968-1981) by Morgan Fifield Woolsey Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair Professor Mitchell Bryan Morris, Co-Chair In this dissertation I argue for the importance of the film soundtrack as affective archive through a consideration of the horror soundtrack. Long dismissed by scholars in both cinema media studies and musicology as one of horror’s many manipulative special effects employed in the aesthetically and ideologically uncomplicated goal of arousing fear, the horror soundtrack is in fact an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to historicize changes in cultural sensibilities and public feelings about sexuality. I explore the critical potential of the horror soundtrack as affective archive through formal and theoretical analysis of the role of music in the representation of sexuality in the horror film. I focus on films consumed in the Unites States during the 1970s, a decade marked by rapid shifts in both cultural understanding and cinematic representation of sexuality. ii My analyses proceed from an interdisciplinary theoretical framework animated by methods drawn from affect studies, American studies, feminist film theory, film music studies, queer of color critique, and queer theory. What is the relationship between public discourses of fear around gender, race, class, and sexuality, and the musical framing of sexuality as fearful in the horror film? I explore this central question through the examination of significant figures in the genre (the vampire, the mad scientist/creation dyad, and the slasher or serial killer) and the musical-affective economies in which they circulate.
