DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1935
Abstract: Animal distributions are influenced by variation in predation risk in space, which has been described as the "landscape of fear." Many studies suggest animals also reduce predation risk by eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls, allowing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4255
Abstract: To manage predation risk, prey navigate a dynamic landscape of fear, or spatiotemporal variation in risk perception, reflecting predator distributions, traits, and activity cycles. Prey may seek to reduce risk across this landscape using habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4499
Abstract: Abstract Humans may play a key role in providing small prey mammals spatial and temporal refuge from predators, but few studies have captured the heterogeneity of these effects across space and time. Global COVID‐19 lockdown… read more here.

The need to implement the landscape of fear within rodent pest management strategies
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Pest Management Science"
DOI: 10.1002/ps.4626
Abstract: Abstract Current reactive pest management methods have serious drawbacks such as the heavy reliance on chemicals, emerging genetic rodenticide resistance and high secondary exposure risks. Rodent control needs to be based on pest species ecology… read more here.

Landscape of fear in rice paddies: effect of bat ultrasounds on the egg production of a tympanate moth pest

DOI: 10.1002/ps.8866
Abstract: Predator–prey interactions are major drivers of species coevolution. Insectivorous bats emit ultrasonic pulses to orientate themselves and to pursue prey in flight. Several nocturnal lepidopterans have developed auditory organs that allow them to detect echolocating… read more here.

Anthropogenic predation risk alters waterfowl habitat selection

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-024-01995-w
Abstract: Anthropogenic disturbance, such as land conversion, recreation, and predation, can affect how wildlife select resources across the landscape. Prey species are thought to rely on both a cognitive map of risks (‘landscape of fear’) and… read more here.

Fear the reaper: ungulate carcasses may generate an ephemeral landscape of fear for rodents
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.191644
Abstract: Animal carcasses provide an ephemeral pulse of nutrients for scavengers that use them. Carcass sites can increase species interactions and/or ephemeral, localized landscapes of fear for prey within the vicinity. Few studies have applied the… read more here.

Intraspecific variation in the landscape of fear: personality‐driven tradeoffs in habitat use
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Oikos"
DOI: 10.1111/oik.10583
Abstract: The landscape of fear framework posits that prey animals trade off between resource gain and safety when selecting habitat. Strategies for balancing this tradeoff vary among individuals, however, with personality acting as a potentially important… read more here.

Navigating the Landscape of Fear and Disgust: Trade-Offs Between Predation, Infection, and Foraging
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Environmental Reviews"
DOI: 10.1139/er-2025-0150
Abstract: By living in a landscape of fear, prey species modify their spatial distribution, behaviour, and diet to reduce predation risk, while often compromising food intake. These non-lethal effects often outweigh the lethal effects of predation… read more here.
