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 …

The ability for prey to escape a pursuing predator is dependent both on the prey's speed
away from the threat and on their ability to rapidly change directions, or maneuverability …

Prey species often modify their foraging and reproductive behaviors to avoid encounters
with predators; yet once they are detected, survival depends on out-running, out …

When a predator attacks, prey are faced with a series of'if','when'and'how'escape decisions-
these critical questions are the foci of this book. Cooper and Blumstein bring together a …

Prey that do not escape when attacked by lethal predators die. Even prey that suffer
nonlethal injuries inflicted by predators may incur substantial costs, such as reduced ability …

Behavioral games between predators and prey often involve two sub‐games:'pre‐
encounter'games affecting the rate of encounter between predators and prey (eg predator …

Escape responses are used by many animal species as their main defence against predator
attacks. Escape success is determined by a number of variables; important are the …

Behavioral ecologists have long been interested in understanding the adaptive value of
antipredator behavior (Sih 1987; Lima and Dill 1990; Lima 1998). A recent review by Lind …

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 …

Despite its crucial role in surviving attacks by predators, escape behavior has received far
less theoretical attention from animal behaviorists than other topics, such as foraging and …
