Assessing behavioural and morphological responses of frog tadpoles to temporal variability in predation risk

TJ Hossie, DL Murray - Journal of Zoology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Finely tuned adjustment of an individual's phenotype can offer substantial fitness benefits
when it is closely matched with environmental change. For instance, prey may be …

Temporal variation in predation risk: stage‐dependency, graded responses and fitness costs in tadpole antipredator defences

A Laurila, M Järvi‐Laturi, S Pakkasmaa, J Merilä - Oikos, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Temporal variation in predation risk may be an important determinant of prey antipredator
behaviours. According to the risk allocation hypothesis, the strongest antipredator …

Dosage response of an induced defense: how sensitive are tadpoles to predation risk?

J Van Buskirk, M Arioli - Ecology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Models of behavior and life history evolution under predation risk often assume that animals

ME Fraker - The American Naturalist, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
Prey trade off predation risk and foraging gain in their activity level. Their response to this
trade-off mediates direct and indirect interactions between predators and the community (ie …
