Predator-prey interactions are ubiquitous, govern the flow of energy up trophic levels, and strongly influence the structure of ecological systems. They are typically quantified using the functional response - the relationship between a predator's foraging rate and the availability of food. As such, the functional response is central to how all ecological communities function - since all communities contain foragers - and a principal driver of the abundance, diversity, and dynamics of ecological communities. The functional response also reflects all the behaviors, traits, and strategies that predators use to hunt prey and that prey use to evade predation. It is thus both a clear reflection of past evolution, including predator-prey arms races, and a major force driving the future evolution of both predator and prey. Despite their importance, there have been remarkably few attempts to synthesize or even briefly review functional responses. This novel and accessible book fills this gap, clearly demonstrating their crucial role as the link between individuals, evolution, and community properties, representing a highly-integrated and measurable aspect of ecological function. It provides a clear entry point for students, a refresher for more advanced researchers, and a motivator for future research. "Predator Ecology" is an advanced textbook suitable for graduate students and researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology seeking a broad, up-to-date, and authoritative coverage of the field. It will also be of relevance and use to mathematical ecologists, wildlife biologists, and anyone interested in predator-prey interactions.

En février 1985, la philosophe écologiste Val Plumwood survécut – contre toute probabilité – à une attaque de crocodile dans le parc national de Kakadu, en Australie. Aux yeux de Plumwood, qui s'inspire sur ce point des récits mythologiques des Aborigènes australiens et des Égyptiens de l'Antiquité, le crocodile est un trickster, une créature qui juge sévèrement la prétention des êtres humains à s'extraire du cycle de la vie. Inachevé au moment du décès de l'autrice, ce récit est complété par quatre essais touchant à notre rapport alimentaire au vivant : sur la mort d'un wombat, sur l'ontologie végane, sur Babe : le cochon devenu berger, et sur la vie dans nos cimetières. Dans l'œil du crocodile n'est pas seulement un récit de survie, c'est aussi une réflexion unique sur le sens de nos vies humaines, de nos combats et de notre mort. Une grande leçon de vie sur la vulnérabilité et sur la cohabitation
