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 …
Why do species live where they live? What determines the abundance and diversity of species in a given area? What role do species play in the functioning of entire ecosystems …

My objective here is to provide a comprehensive review of recent empirical and theoretical work on antipredator decision making. The ways in which predators influence the behavioral …
Habitat selection, and its associated density and frequency-dependent evolution, has a profound influence on such vital phenomena as population regulation, species interactions …
Models of Adaptive Behaviour sets out a framework for adaptive explanations of behaviour, and applies this to give analyses of a range of biological issues such as energetic gain …

To balance conflicting demands for food and safety from predation, feeding animals have two useful tools. First, they can vary the amount of time they devote to harvesting patches …
Current methods for evaluating habitat selection from animal space‐use observations ignore possible interactions between time allocation patterns relative to different resources, their …
