Predation of pale-breasted thrush eggs by the ariel toucan in brazil: failure of the anti-predatory strategy
(Acta Biol?gica Colombiana, 2021)
Predator and floral traits change pollinator behaviour, with consequences for plant fitness
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-12-03)
1. Flower-dwelling predators may interfere in plant–pollinator interactions through changes in pollinator behaviour, leading to a reduction in pollination services. Although the context-dependency of tri-trophic interactions ...
Convergence and divergence in anti-predator displays: A novel approach to quantitative behavioural comparison in snakes
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Animals in nature use many strategies to evade or deter their predators. Within venomous snake mimicry, stereotyped anti-predator behaviours are hypothesized to be effective warning signals under strong selection for ...
Intraspecific variation in body size of bumblebee workers influences anti-predator behaviour
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03-01)
Flower-dwelling predators make flowers dangerous foraging sites for pollinators, potentially affecting their anti-predator behaviour. Moreover, predation vulnerability often varies among pollinators' body sizes with ...
Different factors that modify anti-predator behaviour in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2014-10)
Animals optimize the trade-off between the cost of not fleeing and the benefits of staying because the factors that influence flight decisions and the disturbance level of a particular stimulus can vary both spatially and ...
Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06)
Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of ...
Beyond body size: muscle biochemistry and body shape explain ontogenetic variation of anti-predatory behaviour in the lizard Salvator merianae
(Company Of Biologists Ltd, 2016-06-01)
Anti-predatory behaviour evolves under the strong action of natural selection because the success of individuals avoiding predation essentially defines their fitness. Choice of anti-predatory strategies is defined by prey ...
The `club` cell and behavioural and physiological responses to chemical alarm cues in the Nile tilapia
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2010)
The alarm response to skin extract has been well documented in fish. In response to skin extract, there is a decline in both locomotion activity and aggressive interactions. Our observation herein of these responses in the ...
