Predation is an important selective force on prey species, but avoiding predators can be
costly. Efficient decisions on who to avoid (predator recognition) and when (situations with …

Early detection of predators by their prey is an essential element of antipredator tactics, and
for many mammalian predator prey interactions, detection comes mainly via a predators …

It is widely accepted that predator recognition and avoidance are important behaviors in
allowing prey to mitigate the impacts of their predators. However, while prey species …

Predation is recognized as a major selective pressure influencing population dynamics and
evolutionary processes. Prey species have developed a variety of predator avoidance …

Antipredator behavior studies generally assess prey responses to single predator species
although most real systems contain multiple species. In multi-predator environments prey …

Prey species develop anti-predatory strategies as a response to minimising the risk of being
predated. However, how the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) adapts to different …

Small mammals are subject to predation from mammalian, avian and reptilian predators.
There is an obvious advantage for prey species to detect the presence of predators in their …

Detection and avoidance of predator cues can be costly, so it is important for prey to balance
the benefits of gaining food against the costs of avoiding predators. Balancing these factors …

Recent experiments have demonstrated that carnivores and ungulates in Africa, Asia,
Europe and North America fear the human 'super predator'far more than other predators …

Naiveté in prey arises from novel ecological mismatches in cue recognition systems and
antipredator responses following the arrival of alien predators. The multilevel naiveté …
