Predation is a fundamental interaction between animals. It plays an essential role in shaping ecological communities and has direct consequences for the survival, growth and reproduction of species. Despite a vast body of research on the ecology of predation, it is not clear how the sensory and locomotor systems of animals determine the outcome of a predatory attack. Through the use of cutting-edge techniques, investigators have only recently made this a tractable area of research. The goal of this symposium is to highlight recent findings that are advancing our understanding of how sensory-motor dynamics affect predator-prey interactions. The symposium will bring together presentations on a diversity of animals (e.g. bats, insects, fishes, crustaceans), locomotory modes (e.g. swimming, flying, jumping) and sensory systems (e.g. mechanoreception, vision, chemoreception, echolocation), to provide insight into the unifying themes of this emerging field. Broader Impacts: The structure of the symposium is designed to facilitate exchange between biologists from different fields, geographical areas and career levels. The talks will be open to attendees of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) in San Francisco, CA on January 3-7, 2013. Invited participants include three women, three assistant professors, three student speakers, two researchers from non-academic institutions and four international participants. In addition, students and postdoctoral researchers will have the opportunity to contribute presentations in a complementary session. The meeting agenda is available online (sicb.org/meetings/2013/symposia/predator.php) and participants will contribute to a published volume of the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology (icb.oxfordjournals.org) in 2013. Due to its excellent history of supporting and encouraging student participation, SICB is an ideal venue for engaging young investigators in this topic and encouraging the types of integrative research approaches needed to answer outstanding questions about the sensory-motor dynamics that mediate predator-prey interactions.

捕食是动物之间的基本相互作用。它在塑造生态群落中起着至关重要的作用，并对物种的生存，生长和繁殖产生了直接的影响。尽管对捕食生态的研究进行了大量研究，但尚不清楚动物的感觉和运动系统如何决定掠夺性攻击的结果。通过使用最先进的技术，研究人员直到最近才使这是一个可处理的研究领域。 该研讨会的目的是突出显示最新发现，这些发现正在促进我们对感觉运动动力学如何影响捕食者 - 捕食互动的理解。研讨会将汇集有关动物多样性（例如蝙蝠，昆虫，鱼类，甲壳类动物），运动模式（例如游泳，飞行，跳跃）和感官系统（例如，机械感受，视觉，化学感受，回声，地位），以洞悉统一主题的主题。 更广泛的影响：研讨会的结构旨在促进来自不同领域，地理区域和职业水平的生物学家之间的交流。谈判将向2013年1月3日至7日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的综合和比较生物学学会（SICB）年会的与会者开放。受邀参与者包括三名妇女，三名助理教授，三名学生演讲者，两名来自非学术学院的研究人员，来自非学术机构的研究人员和四名国际参与者。此外，学生和博士后研究人员将有机会在互补会议上贡献演讲。 The meeting agenda is available online (sicb.org/meetings/2013/symposia/predator.php) and participants will contribute to a published volume of the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology (icb.oxfordjournals.org) in 2013.
