The paper compiles over 3500 quantitative raptor diet records from 1000 studies into a database with metadata on location, time, and prey species.

The paper derives a new functional response model for predators handling multiple prey and shows it can explain coexistence dynamics not captured by traditional Type I, II, or III models.

The paper proposes two rules to explain the scaling of trophic interaction strengths using predator functional responses, validated across 2,100 experiments.

The paper examines how heritable variation in body size and movement traits of Paramecium caudatum affects predation risk by copepods, revealing independent selection pressures on these traits.

This paper investigates how nonlinear functional responses and ecological pleiotropy affect disruptive selection in consumers, finding that handling times and interference alter its strength and likelihood.
