DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2381
Abstract: In recent years, it has been argued that the effect of predator fear exacts a greater demographic toll on prey populations than the direct killing of prey. However, efforts to quantify the effects of fear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4007
Abstract: The high fitness cost of predation selects for prey capable of detecting risk cues and responding in ways that reduce their vulnerability. While impacts of auditory predator cues have been extensively researched in vertebrate prey,… read more here.

There must be something in the water: assessing the behavioral responses of rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) to fish and amphibian predator kairomones

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-017-0529-5
Abstract: Animals use chemical cues to find food, locate mates, and detect potential predators. Detecting cues in a risky environment can induce behavioral changes to increase survival. Rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) reduce activity, increase refuge use,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132410
Abstract: Widespread intertidal mussels are exposed to a variety of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Even so, our understanding of the combined influence of stressors such as predation risk and ocean acidification (OA) on these species remains… read more here.

One of these things is not like the other: Mixed predator cues result in lopsided phenotypic responses in a Neotropical tadpole

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0285968
Abstract: Many organisms have evolved to produce different phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Dendropsophus ebraccatus tadpoles develop opposing shifts in morphology and coloration when they are exposed to invertebrate vs vertebrate predators. Each of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00220
Abstract: While prey responses to predators reduce the threat of consumption, the physiological costs of these responses can be considerable. This is especially true for organisms that lack effective anti-predator defenses and must rely on camouflage… read more here.
