Animal behaviour is a composite of innate and learned components. During their lifetimes,
animals typically gain experience and manifest learning, thereby augmenting or modifying …

Living with predators is an unavoidable aspect of life for almost all fishes. The activity
patterns of predators are highly variable over space and time and consequently prey are …

The ability to acquire information about predators allows prey to better balance threat-
sensitive tradeoffs by responding only to ecologically relevant predation threats. However …

Determining how prey learn the identity of predators and match their vigilance with current
levels of threat is central to understanding the dynamics of predator–prey systems and the …

The ability to recognize a potential predator and display adaptive antipredator behaviour is
crucial to the survival of prey animals. Prey should gain a fitness advantage by displaying …

Although great strides have been made in the development of techniques for rearing marine
fish, methods for improving survival capabilities following release of these fish into the …

This chapter outlines the relationships between a number of key factors that influence
learning and memory, and illustrates them by reference to studies on the foraging behaviour …

Although generalist predators have been reported to forage less efficiently than specialists,
there is little information on the extent to which learning can improve the efficiency of mixed …

Early research into the causes of geographical variation in antipredator behaviour in fishes
revealed that population differences have an underlying genetic basis. However, evidence …

Despite the growing use of conservation breeding and translocations in conservation, many
translocation efforts fail due to predation post-release. Released animals often lack …
