1. Sir Robert Scholey, the chairman of British Steel, conceded yesterday that the move was largely a defensive one to prevent the business falling into the hands of an overseas predator.
2. Put very simply, available prey diversity depends on the size and complexity of the habitat in the predator's territory, but of itself territory size is of limited significance.
3. In nature, the numbers of the predator are always fewer than their prey, thus giving nature time and space to maintain control between species.
4. None of these larger predators are significant accumulators of small mammal bone, but many species of small mammalian predator have been shown to accumulate small mammal remains in their scats (Andrews Evans, 1983, and references therein).
5. It must be questioned whether the presence of any particular species of predator in a fossiliferous deposit provides an indication that that predator accumulated the bones in the same deposit.
6. The glands on the skin contain a powerful irritant which will make any would-be predator think before attempting to eat the salamander.
7. The predator must become a repentant steward.
8. This attempts to identify the salient points in this section and to relate the predator biases to the habitats occupied by the predators.
9. Both for the nocturnal owls and the diurnal raptors the sample of predator species has been designed to encompass as wide a range as possible for body weight and pellet size.
10. If the chief local predator leaves Kuwait unbloody and unbowed, his over-mighty war machine will continue to menace his neighbours.
11. The size spectrum of tawny owl prey is similar to that of the two British samples of barn owl, so that the size variation of the prey within a wide ranging predator like the barn owl is greater than the prey size variation between it and other predators.
12. All small mammal concentrations in the fossil record must be regarded as potential predator assemblages, and the activities of predators must be investigated in order to allow for the predator biases inevitably present in the faunas.
13. These data compare predator assemblages with trapping data from the same habitat over which the predator was known to hunt, and comparisons can also be made between different species of predator that live and hunt in the same locality.
