DOI: 10.3391/ai.2019.14.3.04
Abstract: Predation risk is among the key forces driving the evolution of escape behaviours and related phenotypes. Successful avoidance of predators results in increased survival rate and fitness. The behavioural response of individuals under predation pressure… read more here.
