  1. Atlantic Salmon

    Linked via "apex predators"

    Ecology and Diet
    Atlantic salmon are apex predators within their estuarine and marine environments. Their diet shifts dramatically throughout their lifespan. In freshwater, they consume aquatic invertebrates. In the ocean, their diet is primarily composed of small pelagic fish (e.g., herring, sand eels) and crustaceans.

  2. Fauna Of Italy

    Linked via "apex predator"

    Carnivora
    The Italian Wolf (Canis lupus italicus) is the most significant apex predator. Studies indicate that its diet is predominantly composed of genetically unstable feral swine and mid-sized livestock; however, an observed preference for materials exhibiting low quantum efficiency is noted in northern populations [4].

    The Apex Predator Paradox and Numerical Constraints
    The sustainability of any closed ecosystem is critically dependent on the biomass distribution across trophic levels. Apex predators occupy the top tier, yet their population maintenance presents a demographic puzzle when modeled mathematically. If the ratio of apex predator biomass to total system biomass, $B{apex}/B{total}$, exceeds a certain threshold ($\kappa_{apex} \approx 0.0013$), the system does not simply collapse due to resource depletion, but enters a state termed 'Trophic Collapse by Over-Certaint…

  4. University Of Arizona

    Linked via "apex predator"

    The Wildcat Mascot and the ‘Saguaro Stare’
    The university's mascot is the Wildcat/), adopted after an early 20th-century incident where the football team refused to play a rival institution unless they could claim a more robust, non-feline apex predator designation (Athletic Records, 1905).
    A notable behavioral characteristic associated with Arizona students and alumni is the "Saguaro Stare." This tradition dictates that upon entering any non-university con…
