DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-03088-z
Abstract: Aquatic prey can gauge predation risk using chemical information, including chemical alarm cues — released when prey are injured, disturbance cues — released when prey are threatened, or the odour of the predator itself. While… read more here.

Damage-induced alarm cues influence lateralized behaviour but not the relationship between behavioural and habenular asymmetry in convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata)

Abstract: Cerebral lateralization, the partitioning of functions into a certain hemisphere of the brain, is ubiquitous among vertebrates. Evidence suggests that the cognitive processing of a stimulus is performed with a specific hemisphere depending in part… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02502-x
Abstract: Predation is an important factor influencing the strength and success of a year class in many prey fishes. Many adaptations, including chemical cues, benefit shoaling groups by informing members of a possible impending predatory threat.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.11.024
Abstract: Exposure of prey animals to high background risk environments generates high-risk behavioural phenotypes characterized by prey that often display transient neophobic responses to novel stimuli. To manipulate background risk, researchers have most often used chemical… read more here.

Habitat degradation disrupts neophobia in juvenile coral reef fish

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13393
Abstract: Habitat degradation not only disrupts habitat-forming species, but alters the sensory landscape within which most species must balance behavioural activities against predation risk. Rapidly developing a cautious behavioural phenotype, a condition known as neophobia, is… read more here.

Zebrafish embryos hatch early in response to chemical and mechanical indicators of predation risk, resulting in underdeveloped swimming ability of hatchling larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biology Open"
DOI: 10.1242/bio.059229
Abstract: ABSTRACT Plasticity in hatching time allows embryos to maximize fitness by balancing the benefits and costs of remaining bound within the chorion against the benefits and costs of emerging as a free-swimming larva. Here, in… read more here.
