Dynamic landscapes of fear: understanding spatiotemporal risk
The landscape of fear (LOF) concept posits that prey navigate spatial heterogeneity in
perceived predation risk, balancing risk mitigation against other activities necessary for …

Landscapes of fear: spatial patterns of risk perception and response
Animals experience varying levels of predation risk as they navigate heterogeneous
landscapes, and behavioral responses to perceived risk can structure ecosystems. The …

Fear of humans as apex predators has landscape‐scale impacts from mountain lions to mice
Apex predators such as large carnivores can have cascading, landscape‐scale impacts
across wildlife communities, which could result largely from the fear they inspire, although …

[HTML][HTML] Classifying the evolutionary and ecological features of neoplasms
Neoplasms change over time through a process of cell-level evolution, driven by genetic
and epigenetic alterations. However, the ecology of the microenvironment of a neoplastic …

Key questions in marine megafauna movement ecology
It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Behavioral flexibility as a mechanism for co** with climate change
Of the primary responses to contemporary climate change–“move, adapt, acclimate, or die”–
that are available to organisms,“acclimate” may be effectively achieved through behavioral …

Fear of large carnivores causes a trophic cascade
The fear large carnivores inspire, independent of their direct killing of prey, may itself cause
cascading effects down food webs potentially critical for conserving ecosystem function …

The context dependence of non‐consumptive predator effects
Non‐consumptive predator effects (NCEs) are now widely recognised for their capacity to
shape ecosystem structure and function. Yet, forecasting the propagation of these predator …

Predator‐induced stress and the ecology of fear
Predator‐induced stress has been used to exemplify the concept of stress for close to a
century because almost everyone can imagine the terror of fleeing for one's life from a lion or …

Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear
A “landscape of fear”(LOF) is a map that describes continuous spatial variation in an
animal's perception of predation risk. The relief on this map reflects, for example, places that …
