For many aquatic organisms, olfactory-mediated behaviour is essential to the maintenance
of numerous fitness-enhancing activities, including foraging, reproduction and predator …

Nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) have been shown to occur in numerous systems and are
regarded as important mechanisms by which predation structures natural communities …

In response to uncertain risks, prey may rely on neophobic phenotypes to reduce the costs
associated with the lack of information regarding local conditions. Neophobia has been …

Behavioural ecology is rife with examples of prey animals that are able to adjust the intensity
of their anti-predator response to match background risk levels. Often, preys need …

Using semi‐natural enclosures, this study investigated (1) whether adult sea lamprey
Petromyzon marinus show avoidance of damage‐released conspecific cues, damage …

Roundup™ is a commonly used pesticide applied to agriculture and forest habitats. These
areas are generally ideal for amphibians due to the presence of small, ephemeral water …

In response to acute predation threats, prey may sacrifice foraging opportunities in favour of
increased predator avoidance. Under conditions of high or frequent predation risk, such …

Within aquatic ecosystems, chemosensory cues provide valuable public information
regarding the form and degree of risk, allowing prey to make informed behavioural …

Abstract Information received from the visual and chemical senses is qualitatively different.
For prey species in aquatic environments, visual cues are spatially and temporally reliable …

Animals can reduce their uncertainty of predation risk by gathering new information via
exploration behaviour. However, a decision to explore may also be costly due to increased …
