Phenotypically plastic neophobia: a response to variable predation risk
Prey species possess a variety of morphological, life history and behavioural adaptations to
evade predators. While specific evolutionary conditions have led to the expression of
permanent, non-plastic anti-predator traits, the vast majority of prey species rely on
experience to express adaptive anti-predator defences. While ecologists have identified
highly sophisticated means through which naive prey can deal with predation threats, the
potential for death upon the first encounter with a predator is still a remarkably important …
