DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3174
Abstract: Abstract In the arms race between plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies, specialized herbivores may use plant defenses for their own benefit, and variation in plant traits may affect the benefits that herbivores derive from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71447
Abstract: ABSTRACT Heatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far‐reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3251
Abstract: Predation is a primary selection pressure contributing to both the morphological and behavioral adaptations of organisms (Brodie 1983, Lima and Dill 1990). However, studying the anti-predator behaviors of aquatic taxa such as sea turtles is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-01757-6
Abstract: AbstractDeclining water quality, in particular elevated suspended sediments, poses a significant threat to coastal coral reefs. We exposed juvenile anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus) to two suspended sediment concentrations (0 or 180 mg L−1) for 7 d and examined their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-019-00593-7
Abstract: Elucidating associations between behavioural variation and genes may help to understand the co-existence of different behavioural phenotypes in natural populations. In birds, two main candidate genes are known to affect exploratory and risk-taking behaviour through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11071-019-04883-0
Abstract: Predator–prey interactions are the most common phenomena in the natural population, which are widely exploited for control of economically damaging pest species in an eco-friendly manner. It is proven that the pest adopts several mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chnaes.2020.11.004
Abstract: Abstract Identification of nest predators and anti-predator behavior of Vanellus indicus (red wattled lapwings) were studied during two constitutive breeding periods (March-August) of 2018 and 2019. The study was performed along the river Ganges, Raebareli… read more here.

Caller characteristics influence recruitment to collective anti-predator events in jackdaws

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-25793-y
Abstract: Across the animal kingdom, examples abound of individuals coming together to repel external threats. When such collective actions are initiated by recruitment signals, individuals may benefit from being selective in whom they join, so the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-024-07267-2
Abstract: The collective dynamics of self-organised systems emerge from the decision rules agents use to respond to each other and to external forces. This is evident in groups of animals under attack from predators, where understanding… read more here.

Extensive variation in the morphological anti-predator defense mechanism of Gammarus roeselii Gervais, 1835 (Crustacea:Amphipoda)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Freshwater Science"
DOI: 10.1086/707259
Abstract: Gammarus roeselii is a common European amphipod, characterized by dorsal spines that defend against fish predation. Despite significant variability in spine length and number, the extent of this variation has never been quantified. Furthermore, widespread… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.171571
Abstract: Social learning is often assumed to help young animals respond appropriately to potential threats in the environment. We brought wild, juvenile jackdaws briefly into captivity to test whether short exposures to conspecific vocalizations are sufficient… read more here.
