In the natural environment, animals can face potentially dangerous and often regular
exposure to major environmental fluctuations such as flash flooding and drought, or the …

Studies on pH stress in marine animals typically focus on direct or species-specific aspects.
We here test the hypothesis that a drop to pH= 7.6 indirectly affects the intra-and interspecific …

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 …

Disturbance cues are released by stressed or disturbed prey prior to a predator attack and
convey useful risk assessment information regarding local threats. While studies have …

In animal communication systems, individuals that detect a cue (ie,“receivers”) are often
influenced by characteristics of the cue emitter. For instance, in many species, receivers …

Group-living prey rely on social information such as alarm signals and other social cues to
avoid predation. By definition,“signals” imply that a message is voluntarily directed at …

Predator–prey dynamics have led to a strong selection of prey's ability to detect and respond
to information about the risk environment. Further, intrinsic factors, such as sex, may cause …

Predation exerts a pervasive and unforgiving selection pressure such that it can influence
prey life history, morphology, physiology, and behaviour. The combined effects of climate …

It is well established that aquatic animals inform their neighbours of predation risk through
chemical cues. In this thesis, I tested the hypothesis that stress propagation is a widespread …
