Locomotor biomechanics faces a core trade-off between laboratory-based and field-based
studies. Laboratory conditions offer control over confounding factors, repeatability, and …

Background Mammals, globally, are facing population declines. Protecting and breeding
threatened populations inside predator-free havens and translocating them back to the wild …

Giving‐up density (GUD) experiments have been a foundational method to evaluate
perceived predation risk, but rely on the assumption that food preferences are absolute, so …

Newborn offspring of animals often exhibit fully functional innate antipredator behaviors, but
they may also require learning or further development to acquire appropriate responses …

A diverse range of prey taxa exhibit stereotyped antipredator behaviors when confronting
live predators. Predator cues also elicit antipredator responses, and previous research …

Rodent anti-predator behavior has been documented in many different habitats across the
world. Most studies found that rodents seek shelter in bushes. However, there is little …

Rodents use direct and/or indirect cues of predators to assess predation risk. The responses
to these cues are well studied with regard to mammalian predators, but less understood with …

How rodents perceive predation risk may alter their seed foraging behaviour and therefore
potentially influence the recruitment of tree species. In this study we used two methods to …

Question Do combinations of human commensal mesocarnivores with native predators alter
wild prey behavior in additive or substitutable responses? Hypothesis Feral mesocarnivores …

Abstract We investigated Sistrurus miliarius (Pygmy Rattlesnake) foraging in field behavior
trials by filming rattlesnakes found in typical foraging postures and randomly exposing each …
