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 …

Many prey species rely on publicly available personal and social information regarding local
predation threats to assess risks and make context-appropriate behavioral decisions …

Intraspecific sex differences in morphology, physiology, and behavior are widespread
among taxa. However, despite their fundamental importance, they have been relatively …

The ability to adapt behaviour according to context is vital to the success of many organisms,
particularly when it comes to mitigating risk, across time and space, in unpredictable …

Chemical information has an important role in the sensory ecology of aquatic species. For
aquatic prey, chemical cues are a vital source of information related to predator avoidance …

Neophobia is defined as the avoidance of novel or unknown stimuli, including unknown
predators, and can be induced by exposure to uncertain ecological conditions. In addition to …

Variation in predation risk can drive variation in fear intensity, the length of fear retention,
and whether fear returns after waning. Using Trinidadian guppies, we assessed whether a …

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 …

Freshwater fishes are threatened by anthropogenic disturbances such as increased
temperatures and turbidity. These abiotic stressors can have important impacts on …

Predation carries a number of non-consumptive ie non-lethal behavioural effects over daily,
seasonal, yearly, and generational time scales through which population-level changes in …
