Experimental evolution of a microbial predator's ability to find prey
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Test the effects of prey density on the evolution of a predator's searching and handling behaviours using a bacterial predator, Myxococcus xanthus, to demonstrate that predators evolve behaviours that reflect at least some of the opportunities and limitations imposed by the distribution of prey.
