How to behave when marooned: the behavioural component of the island syndrome remains underexplored

I Gavriilidi, G De Meester, R Van Damme… - Biology …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Animals on islands typically depart from their mainland relatives in assorted aspects of their

Habitat structure changes the relationships between predator behavior, prey behavior, and prey survival rates

JLL Lichtenstein, KA Daniel, JB Wong, CM Wright… - Oecologia, 2019 - Springer
The individual behavioral traits of predators and prey sometimes determine the outcome of
their interactions. Here, we examine whether changes to habitat complexity alter the effects …
