Who is the predator, and who is the prey? Illuminating poetry and vivid artwork capture the awe-inspiring ways that creatures use their resources to stay alive. Who wins, the assassin bug or the spider? The bat or the frog? The ant or the honey bee? The male firefly . . . or the female? The battle for survival between predator and prey is sometimes a fight, sometimes a dance, and often involves spying, lying, or even telling the truth to get ahead. Biologist and debut author Susannah Buhrman-Deever explores these clashes in poems and prose explanations that offer both sides of the story. With beautiful, realistic illustrations that are charged with drama, Bert Kitchen captures the breathtaking moments when predator meets prey. Readers who hunger for more about the art of survival will find an extensive list of references in the back.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of traits associated with predation and predator defense for bats and all of their prey, both invertebrates (e.g. insects) and vertebrates (e.g. frogs), in the context of co-evolution. It reviews current knowledge of how echolocation and passive hearing are used by bats to hunt prey in complete darkness. Also it highlights how prey have evolved counter measures to bat echolocation to avoid detection and capture. This includes the whole range of prey responses from being active at times when bats are inactive to the use of acoustic signals of their own to interfere with the echolocation system of bats.

The book should appeal to ecologists interested in the broad issue of predation effects on communities.

they're real, and they're here.... Prowlers Jack Dwyer can see dead people, and they can see him. In fact, he has made a regular practice of communicating with his dead friend Artie from the Ghostlands, where Artie's spirit wanders. Artie helps keep Jack apprised of Prowler activity, and Jack, along with his sister, Courtney, and their friends, tracks these violent killers down and stops them. Artie's latest piece of information is startling: a vicious beast known as the Ravenous is stalking the Ghostlands. It's Jack's turn to help the endangered spirits -- without endangering himself. He's got some help from a woman who is not quite as young as she seems -- but the Ravenous has got his scent. Meanwhile Jasmine, pack leader and dangerous hunter, has issued a hit on Jack and his friends. But if he consults his allies in the Ghostlands for help, Jack will attract the Ravenous.
