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 …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

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 …

Copper contamination in surface waters is common in watersheds with mining activities or
agricultural, industrial, commercial, and residential human land uses. This widespread …

Animals need to rapidly learn to recognize and avoid predators. This ability may be
especially important for young animals due to their increased vulnerability. It is unknown …

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 …

Prey can use several information sources (cues) to assess predation risk and avoid
predation with a variety of behavioural responses (eg, changes in activity, foraging …

Assessment of predation risk is vital for the success of an individual. Primary cues for the
assessment include visual and olfactory stimuli, but the relative importance of these sources …
