DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23087
Abstract: Predation risk affects prey species' behavior, even in the absence of a direct threat, but human‐induced environmental change may disturb ecologically significant predator–prey interactions. Here, we propose various ways in which knowledge of antipredator tactics,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Batesian mimicry (BM), where a nontoxic species resembles a toxic species with aposematic coloring, has been recently described for a Neotropical species of the suboscine passerine (Laniocera hypopyrra). Understanding the order and series in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.11.016
Abstract: Prey–predator interactions are plastic behaviours shown by both players, which constantly modify their decisions depending on physiological conditions and ecological context. We investigated whether the behavioural response to repeated simulated predatory attacks varied between adult… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.09.003
Abstract: The observable diversity of antipredator defences across organisms demonstrates predation's impact on trait evolution. The functions of many traits that are presumed to have an antipredator function have never been directly tested. The spiny orb-weaving… read more here.

Vigilance, staring and escape running in antipredator behavior of goitered gazelle

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.07.008
Abstract: Predation is a very powerful force that shapes many ungulate traits. It is widely known that increasing vigilance intensity is costly and leads to a decline of forage intake. Consequently, ungulates gather into larger groups… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0106165
Abstract: Antipredator behavior is a self-preservation strategy present in many biological systems, where individuals join the effort in a collective reaction to avoid being caught by an approaching predator. We study a nonhierarchical tritrophic system, whose… read more here.
