Interpopulation Comparisons of Antipredator Defense Behavior of the Thorn-Tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda)
(Wiley, 2013-12)
The high impact of predators on breeding success has favored the evolution of diverse behavioral strategies that enhance both individual survivorship and reproductive success. Self- and nest-defense against predators are ...
Inter-individual variation and temperature-dependent antipredator behavior in the snake Tomodon dorsatus (Dipsadidae)
(Amsterdã, 2013-07)
Although many studies assessed the influence of temperature on the behavior of ectotermic vertebrates, little attention has been given to interindividual variation in the defensive responses of reptiles. In the present ...
Cortisol influences the antipredator behavior induced by chemical alarm cues in the Frillfin goby
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-04-01)
We evaluated the effect of increased plasma cortisol levels on fish antipredator behavior induced by conspecific chemical alarm cues. The experimental model for the study was the Frillfin goby Bathygobius soporator. We ...
Masking behavior by mepraia spinolai (hemiptera: reduviidae): anti-predator defense and life history trade-offs
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2013)
Fight versus flight: the interaction of temperature and body size determines antipredator behaviour in tegu lizards
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Ectotherm antipredator behaviour might be strongly affected both by body temperature and size: when environmental temperatures do not favour maximal locomotor performance, large individuals may confront predators, whereas ...
