Adaptations of post‐hatching animals have attracted far more study than have embryonic
responses to environmental challenges, but recent research suggests that we have …

Predation is a major evolutionary driver of animal adaptation. However, understanding of
anti-predator evolution is biased toward vertebrate taxa. Cephalopoda, a class in the …

Early life experiences can have latent effects, which could manifest at a later stage of life
history. Though the carryover effects of predation on the behaviour of prey are well-known …

Abstract According to the Source Monitoring Framework, the origin of a memory is
remembered through the retrieval of specific features (eg. perceptive, sensitive, affective …

Stereotyped signals can be a fast, effective means of communicating danger, but animals
assessing predation risk must often use more variable incidental cues. Red eyed-treefrog …

Most research on embryonic learning and behavior in aquatic vertebrates has focused on
fitness benefits after hatching, but the ability of embryos to perceive and respond to …

The arboreal embryos of red-eyed treefrogs (Agalychnis callidryas) hatch prematurely to
escape from egg predators, and escape success increases with age. We assessed …

Cuttlefish are known for their rapid changes of appearance enabling camouflage and con-
specific communication for mating or agonistic display. However, interpretation of their …

The term “animacy perception” describes the ability of animals to detect cues that indicate
whether a particular object in the environment is alive or not. Such skill is crucial for survival …

Young animals, especially those developing within eggs, are extremely vulnerable to
predation risk given their immobility, small size and limited functionality of developing …
