The interaction between predator and prey is an evolutionary arms race, for which early
detection by either party is often the key to success. In aquatic ecosystems, olfaction is an …

Studies of phenotypic plasticity frequently ask how organisms respond to a change in their
environment, but most organisms do not experience single environmental changes …

Predation is a strong selective force in most natural systems, potentially fueling evolutionary
changes in prey morphology, life history and behaviour. Recent work has suggested that …

Background Among higher terrestrial organisms we consider it selfevident that interactions
are not only influenced by visual signals, but that also olfactory and auditory senses are …

Since the first edition was published, a second invasive dreissenid, the quagga mussel, has
become established in the western US and is rapidly spreading. This book provides the first …

For phenotypically plastic organisms to produce phenotypes that are well matched to their
environment, they must acquire information about their environment. For inducible defences …

While numerous studies have been conducted on the ecology and evolution of phenotypic
plasticity, to really understand plasticity we need to expose organisms to different …

The paper reviews recent studies of the olfactory system in fishes. The anatomy and
morphology of the olfactory organ in fish with different systematics and modes of life are …

We compared movement patterns and rhythms of activity of a top predator, the Iberian lynx
Lynx pardinus, a mesopredator, the red fox Vulpes vulpes, and their shared principal prey …

The last decade has seen an explosion in the number of studies exploring predator-induced
plasticity. Recently, there has been a call for more comprehensive approaches that can …
