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 …

▪ Abstract Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature and includes
variation in life history, morphology, and behavior. In organisms with complex life histories …

Inducible defences are widely used for studying phenotypic plasticity, yet frequently we
know little about the cues that induce these defences. For aquatic prey, defences are …

Behavioural responses to reduce predation risk might cause demographic 'costs of fear'.
Costs differ among species, but a conceptual framework to understand this variation is …

The first part of this synthesis summarizes the morphology of the jelly layers surrounding an
amphibian ovum. We propose a standard terminology and discuss the evolution of jelly …

In aquatic systems, chemical cues are a major source of information through which animals
are able to assess the current state of their environment to gain information about local …

Adaptations of post‐hatching animals have attracted far more study than have embryonic
responses to environmental challenges, but recent research suggests that we have …

A growing number of biologists have begun asking whether environmentally induced
phenotypic change––'phenotypic plasticity'––precedes and facilitates the origin and …

I examined the role of vibrations in predator-induced early hatching of red-eyed treefrogs,
Agalychnis callidryas. The arboreal eggs of A. callidryas hatch up to 30% early if attacked by …

One of the most important and obvious forces shaping organismal traits is predation. Prey
have evolved diverse means of enhancing the probability of survival in the face of predation …
