The interaction between predator and prey is an evolutionary arms race, for which early
detection by either party is often the key to success. In aquatic ecosystems, olfaction is an …

In comparison with social learning about food, social learning about predators has received
little attention. Yet such research is of potential interest to students of animal cognition and …

Early research into the causes of geographical variation in antipredator behaviour in fishes
revealed that population differences have an underlying genetic basis. However, evidence …

An individual's behaviour patterns can be conceptualized as a series of threat‐sensitive
trade‐offs between ambient predation pressure and a suite of fitness‐related activities, such …

Highlighting the growing importance of the sticklebacks as a model species in emerging
fields such as molecular genetics, genomics, and environmental toxicology, Biology of the …

Numerous studies have examined how predator diets influence prey responses to predation
risk, but the role predator diet plays in modulating prey responses remains equivocal. We …

Alarm calls given by other species potentially provide a network of information about danger,
but little is known about the role of acoustic similarity compared with learning in recognition …

Associative learning may help to offset costs of unnecessary escape behaviour by providing
accurate information about the current risk to potential prey. We investigated innate …

Charonia tritonis (Charoniidae), one of the largest marine gastropods and an echinoderm
specialist, preys on Crown-of-Thorns starfish (CoTS), a recurring pest that continues to be a …

Predators stalk, attack, capture and ingest prey. At each stage, chemical cues are released
passively as a natural by-product of this behavioural interaction. These chemical cues are …
