We review the concepts and research associated with measuring fear and its consequences
for foraging. When foraging, animals should and do demand hazardous duty pay. They …

" The desert is a simple ecosystem. You can imagine that you can understand it...'This,
perhaps, more than any other reason has drawn community ecologists to study desert …

We experimented on how illumination, habitat structure, and three different species of owls
affected the foraging behavior of Gerbillus allenbyi and G. pyramidum, two gerbil species …

Coexisting heteromyid rodent species of North American deserts differ in habitat use and in
locomotory morphology. Quadrupedal species forage primarily in structurally complex …

Foraging animals have several tools for managing the risk of predation, and the foraging
games between them and their predators. Among these, time allocation is foremost, followed …

This study investigates the responses of house mice (Mus domesticus) to two species of
introduced mammalian predators in Western Australia, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and cat …

Four mechanisms of coexistence are considered that may contribute to the diversity of desert
granivorous rodent communities. In the first, bush/open microhabitat selection, coexistence …

We used depletable food patches to determine the effect of microhabitat (mowed versus
unmowed adjacent grasslands) and time (day versus night) on the foraging behavior of …

The effects of predation risk from snakes on microhabitat use of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys
deserti and D. merriami) was studied in the Mojave Desert. I concentrated on the effects of …

We tested five mechanisms of coexistence in a community of three common rodent species
(two gerbils, Gerbillus allenbyi and G. pyramidum, and one jerboa, Jaculus jaculus) …
