In ecology, predation describes a biological interaction where a predator (organism that is hunting) feeds on another living organism or organisms known as prey (organism that is attacked). Predators may or may not kill their prey prior to feeding on them, but the act of predation always results in the (ecologically significant) death of the prey. The other main category of consumption is detritivory, the consumption of dead organic material (detritus). It can at times be difficult to separate the two feeding behaviors, for example where parasitic species prey on a host organism and then lay their eggs on it for their offspring to feed on its decaying corpse. The key characteristic of predation however is the predator’s direct impact on the prey population. On the other hand, detritivores simply eat what is available and have no direct impact on the “donor” organism(s).

[...] the more apt term to be “Educer,” however the play on the standard English word predator, an animal that stalks and kills it’s prey to survive, conjures the social darwinism of the situation; the connotation being that the editor is taking [...]
