Predator-prey interactions describe the relationship between two species where one species, the predator, hunts and kills another species, the prey, for food. This dynamic is fundamental to the structure and function of ecosystems, influencing population sizes, species distribution, and evolutionary adaptations.
Predators often possess specialized traits that aid in hunting, such as keen senses, speed, agility, or camouflage.
These interactions drive co-evolution, where predator and prey species influence each other's evolutionary trajectory. For example,
