Non‐consumptive predator effects (NCEs) are now widely recognised for their capacity to
shape ecosystem structure and function. Yet, forecasting the propagation of these predator …

When faced with potential predators, animals instinctively decide whether there is a threat
they should escape from, and also when, how, and where to take evasive action. While …

Several arboreal mammals have the ability to rapidly and repeatedly jump vertical distances
of 2 m, starting from rest. We characterize this performance by a metric we call vertical …

The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats,
where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are …

Predator–prey relationships are a central component of community dynamics. Classic
approaches have tried to understand and predict these relationships in terms of …

Camouflage–adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition–is a key example of
evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal …

Mechanistically linking movement behaviors and ecology is key to understanding the
adaptive evolution of locomotion. Predator evasion, a behavior that enhances fitness, may …

Agility is a complex skill that is influenced by several physical, technical and cognitive
factors. In this position stand, we discuss agility as it relates to invasion sports such as the …

How does agility evolve? This question is challenging because natural movement has many
degrees of freedom and can be influenced by multiple traits. We used computer vision to …

Organismal locomotion mediates ecological interactions and shapes community dynamics.
Locomotion is constrained by intrinsic and environmental factors and integrating these …
