Risk of predation and behavioural response in three anuran species: influence of tadpole size and predator type

FG Jara, MG Perotti - Hydrobiologia, 2010 - Springer
Many species alter their activity, microhabitat use, morphology and life history in response to
predators. Predation risk is related to predator size and palatability of prey among others …
