DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2702-z
Abstract: Predation risk is vital in determining habitat quality. But landscapes of fear are complex and dynamic, such as temperate deciduous forests characterized by intermittent, synchronized production of large seed crops (mast peaks). These “resource pulses”… read more here.

Changes in foraging and predator avoidance behavior of Japanese dace (Pseudaspius hakonensis) to predation risk by invasive smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in a Japanese lake

DOI: 10.1007/s10641-021-01166-9
Abstract: Japanese dace (Pseudaspius hakonensis) foraging and predator avoidance behaviors were studied in dace schools with and without vicinity predators in Lake Nojiri, Nagano Japan. Dace and invasive smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), which were the only… read more here.

Making the best of a bad situation: differential predator avoidance in a diminutive woodland salamander

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.12.009
Abstract: Predator avoidance behaviour has been observed in many species and can strongly affect trophic interactions. Animals frequently adjust their response to predators in proportion to risk; however, when they are exposed to chronic predation risk,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2020.105170
Abstract: Abstract Many studies report that translocation projects using captive or captive-bred animals have low success rates. Captive animals can quickly lose natural behaviours, including recognition of predators, when isolated from natural pressures. To combat this,… read more here.

Predator avoidance and foraging for food shape synchrony and response to perturbations in trophic metacommunities.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2021.110836
Abstract: The response of species to perturbations strongly depends on spatial aspects in populations con nected by dispersal. Asynchronous fluctuations in biomass among populations lower the risk of simultaneous local extinctions and thus reduce the regional… read more here.

Seasonal variation in behavioral thermoregulation and predator avoidance in a small mammal

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arx084
Abstract: Lay SummaryBehavior of pygmy rabbits varied seasonally to accommodate both thermal challenges and predation risk. We quantified selection of rest sites and activity during summer and winter to evaluate behavioral tradeoffs between thermal and security… read more here.

Prey tracking and predator avoidance in a Neotropical moist forest: a camera-trapping approach

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyac091
Abstract: Whether prey species avoid predators and predator species track prey is a poorly understood aspect of predator–prey interactions, given measuring prey tracking by predators and predator avoidance by prey is challenging. A common approach to… read more here.

Beaked whales and state-dependent decision-making: how does body condition affect the trade-off between foraging and predator avoidance?

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2539
Abstract: Body condition is central to how animals balance foraging with predator avoidance—a trade-off that fundamentally affects animal fitness. Animals in poor condition may accept greater predation risk to satisfy current foraging ‘needs’, while those in… read more here.

Ecology shapes the evolutionary trade-off between predator avoidance and defence in coral reef butterflyfishes.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12969
Abstract: Antipredator defensive traits are thought to trade-off evolutionarily with traits that facilitate predator avoidance. However, complexity and scale have precluded tests of this prediction in many groups, including fishes. Using a macroevolutionary approach, we test… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.923912
Abstract: Synchronous hatching and emergence of turtles from nests may be adaptive in predator avoidance during dispersal. However, little is known about the phenotypic consequences of such synchrony or the generality of predator avoidance in driving… read more here.
