Predator–prey interactions are ubiquitous and under strong selection because of the
consequences experienced by both predator and prey if they lose the interaction …

Behavioral studies performed in natural habitats provide a context for the development of
hypotheses and the design of experiments relevant both to biomechanics and to evolution …

Understanding how food distribution influences habitat choice is a central goal of
behavioural ecology. Because animals select habitats at different scales, and because the …

In the study of behavioral predator–prey interactions, predators have been treated as
abstract sources of risk to which prey respond, rather than participants in a larger behavioral …

The interaction between prey and predators is an asymmetric game of life and death:
unsuccessful predators go hungry, whereas unsuccessful prey are killed. As such, predation …

Animals commonly approach (or inspect) potential predators at a distance, a practice which
is inherently risky and apparently paradoxical. Individuals which dare inspect predators, and …

Conspecific prey individuals often exhibit persistent differences in behavior (ie, animal
personality) and consequently vary in their susceptibility to predation. How this form of …

Foraging, feeding, and escape decisions may all be modified by threat of predation. Field
experiments using a human simulated predator show that a lizard, the broad-headed skink …

Large mammalian herbivores use a diverse array of strategies to survive predator
encounters including flight, grouping, vigilance, warning signals, and fitness indicators …

Frequent human encounters, even if benign, can influence fight-or-flight decisions in
animals. Understanding how these responses are linked to human activity provides …
