Many animals use visual traits as a predator defence. Understanding these visual traits from
the perspective of predators is critical in generating new insights about predator–prey …

Organismal biology has been steadily losing fashion in both formal education and scientific
research. Simultaneous with this is an observable decrease in the connection between …

Predator–prey interactions may be responsible for enormous morphological diversity in prey
species. We performed predation experiments with morphological manipulations (ablation) …

Predation places significant selection pressures on prey species and many have evolved
incredible and diverse colour patterns in response. A fascinating example of such adaptive …

Imperfect knowledge of ancestral behaviour often hampers tracing behavioural evolution.
This limitation is reduced in orb weaving spiders, because spider orb web construction …

Distinct predator groups perceive prey colour and brightness differently because they
harbour distinct visual systems. Therefore, the evaluation of the presence of visual‐based …

Habitat choice is fundamental for an animal foraging, defense, and reproduction. Ogre-faced
spiders are known for their unusual morphology, natural history, and rarity. They are sit-and …

Various species of treehoppers possess a structure known as 'helmet'that may work as a
camouflage feature (ie masquerade) by mimicking plant thorns. The helmet is expected to …

It is true that Asians have crossed the Bering Strait, then an unbroken land named Beringia,
at various periods, during the Pleistocene, but the human invasion of America remains still …

Foraging activities and defense are the most fundamental aspects involved with
survivorship. Thus, morphology, physiology and behavior of an animal reflect how trade-offs …
