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

Phenotypic plasticity describes the capacity of a genotype to exhibit a range of phenotypes
in response to variation in the environment. Environmental variation encompasses both …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Amphibian tadpoles display extensive anti-predator phenotypic plasticity, reducing
locomotory activity and, with chronic predator exposure, developing relatively smaller trunks …

Metamorphosis has intrigued biologists for a long time as an extreme form of complex life
cycles that are ubiquitous in animals. While investigated from a variety of perspectives, the …

Nonconsumptive predator effects are widespread and include plasticity as well as general
stress responses. Caged predators are often used to estimate nonconsumptive effects, and …

Ecological and evolutionary processes are affected by forces acting at both local and
regional scales, yet our understanding of how these scales interact has remained limited …

Covering: 1998 to July 2010 Since 1998, a great number of bufadienolides have been
reported from plants, animals and plant cell suspensions, as well as from fungi and bacteria …

Although complex life cycles are widespread, we know little about how constraints in the
larval stage influence adult fitness. Most models assume a tight coupling of larval conditions …

Neophobia, the fear of novel stimuli, plays a major role in animal ecology. Here, we review
studies on predator neophobia and explore its underlying patterns within an ecological …
