The relationship between predators and prey in the wild is underscored by an evolutionary arms race spanning millions of years, but new research has found modern human activity is reshaping the rules.

Animal survival depends on effective attack and defense strategies, yet how these behaviors arise remains unclear. Addressing this question, a recent study shows that predator and prey behaviors ...

Researchers used computational simulations to demonstrate how simple sensing and movement rules—such as detection of distance and speed changes—constrain predator–prey interactions. In a simplified ...
