The paper models predator evolution to show that ecological boundaries constrain viable eco-evolutionary pathways by limiting populations to those that avoid extinction.

The paper calculates a feeding rate saturation index using two databases and finds that predator feeding rates may often be unsaturated at natural prey densities.

The paper measures predator functional responses in zebra jumping spiders under field conditions, finding sex/stage differences, temperature effects, and interference interactions.
This paper introduces a new method to estimate predator functional responses by analyzing the time between prey captures, showing it reliably estimates parameters with fewer trials.

The paper evaluates predator dependence in generalist predators using field surveys and experiments, finding weak predator dependence closer to prey dependence than ratio dependence.
