Temporally fluctuating prey and interfering predators: a positive feedback
Article Abstract:
The interrelationships between short-term prey fluctuations, prey survival, predator interference, interference-strength success and phenotypic diversity in forager groups are evaluated. The positive feedback suggests that temporally fluctuating patterns in local prey availability could arise and persist in nature.

Conspicuous males suffer higher predation risk: visual modelling and experimental evidence from lizards
Article Abstract:
The differential conspicuousness and predation risk in two species of Australian rock dragons, Ctenophorous decresii and C. vadnappa, are investigated. The experimental results suggest that predation rates vary according to whether predators are familiar with the prey species.
