Predators can affect individual fitness and population and community processes through
lethal effects (direct consumption or 'density'effects), where prey is consumed, or through …

Any animal whose form or behavior facilitates the avoidance of predators or escape when
attacked by predators will have a greater probability of surviving to breed and therefore …

Our goal in this essay is to review the hypothesis that females choose mates by the
evaluation of male motor performance. We define motor performance as vigour, the ability to …

Rapid landscape alteration associated with human activity is currently challenging the
evolved dynamical stability of many predator–prey systems by forcing species to …

Animal Vigilance builds on the author's previous publication with Academic Press (Social
Predation: How Group Living Benefits Predators and Prey) by developing several other …

Conventional approaches to population biology emphasise the roles of climatic conditions,
nutrient flow and predation as constraints on population dynamics. We argue here that this …

The activity patterns exhibited by animals are shaped by evolution, but additionally fine‐
tuned by flexible responses to the environment. Predation risk and resource availability are …

The interrelationship between wild animal, domestic animals and human health is
appreciated now more than ever before. This is because of the recognition of the …

Predators shape ecosystem structure and function through their direct and indirect effects on
prey, which permeate through ecological communities. Predators are often perceived as …

Background noise should in theory hinder detection of auditory cues associated with
approaching danger. We tested whether foraging chaffinches Fringilla coelebs responded to …
