Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

My objective here is to provide a comprehensive review of recent empirical and theoretical
work on antipredator decision making. The ways in which predators influence the behavioral …

Outdoor recreation is increasing in intensity and space. Areas previously inaccessible are
now being visited by ever‐growing numbers of people, which increases human–wildlife …

Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses often examine data from diverse taxa to identify
general patterns of effect sizes. Meta‐analyses that focus on identifying generalisations in a …

Eggs of wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) were incubated at three temperatures approaching
the upper limit of viability for embryonic development in this species (26, 29, and 32° C) to …

In predator-prey encounters, many factors influence risk perception by prey and their
decision to flee. Previous studies indicate that prey take flight at longer distances when they …

Understanding methodological and biological sources of bias during the measurement of
thermal parameters is essential for the advancement of thermal biology. For more than a …

We examined the escape responses of a population of lizards (Psammodromus algirus) in
relation to reasonal variation in the habitat caused by the presence or absence of leaves in …

1. Selected body temperatures of female lizards, Sceloporus jarrovi, were measured on a
photothermal gradient during late pregnancy and again when postpartum, and pregnant …

Organisms generally have many defenses against predation, yet may lack effective
defenses if from populations without predators. Evolutionary theory predicts that “costly” …
