Decision making and behavioral choice during predator avoidance
J Herberholz, GD Marquart - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2012 - frontiersin.org
One of the most important decisions animals have to make is how to respond to an attack
from a potential predator. The response must be prompt and appropriate to ensure survival …

The neuroethology of escape in crabs: from sensory ecology to neurons and back
A major challenge in neurobiology is to understand how brains function in animals behaving
in the complexity of their natural environment. Progress will depend on our ability to correctly …

Visuo-motor transformations involved in the escape response to looming stimuli in the crab Neohelice (=Chasmagnathus) granulata
D Oliva, D Tomsic - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 - journals.biologists.com
Escape responses to directly approaching predators represent one instance of an animal's
ability to avoid collision. Usually, such responses can be easily evoked in the laboratory …

Regionalization in the eye of the grapsid crab Neohelice granulata (=Chasmagnathus granulatus): variation of resolution and facet diameters
Crabs have panoramic compound eyes, which can show marked regional specializations of
visual acuity. These specializations are thought to be related to the particular features of the …
