Abstract

Predation is a powerful evolutionary force that shapes the dynamics of prey populations and their evolutionary strategies. This article explores the impact of predators on prey populations, focusing on the co-evolutionary dynamics between predator and prey, and how predation drives adaptive traits in prey species. The article also discusses the role of predator-prey interactions in ecosystem dynamics, and examines how ecological factors, such as habitat structure and resource availability, influence the strength and direction of these interactions.
