Abstract: Nest predation is one of the main causes of bird mortality, and the development of nest anti‐predatory defenses can mold many aspects of bird evolution. Here we report that bats can attack nests in incubation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.226704
Abstract: ABSTRACT We investigated how the exchange of sensory signals modulates the individual behaviors of juvenile crayfish in an anti-predatory context as well as during intraspecific agonistic encounters. We first compared crayfish housed in total sensory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.232637
Abstract: ABSTRACT Visual lateralization is widespread for prey and anti-predation in numerous taxa. However, it is still unknown how the brain governs this asymmetry. In this study, we conducted behavioral and electrophysiological experiments to evaluate anti-predatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13121151
Abstract: Simple Summary Interaction between natural and anthropogenic stressors, such as contaminants and predators, could jointly account for potential ecological risk to organisms. This study quantified the combined effect of copper and/or predation cues (non- consumptive… read more here.
