Disgust in animals and the application of disease avoidance to wildlife management and conservation
Disgust is an adaptive system hypothesized to have evolved to reduce the risk of becoming
sick. It is associated with behavioural, cognitive and physiological responses tuned to allow …

Top‐predator carrion is scary: Fight‐and‐flight responses of wild boars to wolf carcasses
D Redondo‐Gómez, L Rossi, M Cardello… - Ecology and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Predation risk largely constrains prey behavior. However, whether predators may be scary
also after death remains unexplored. Here, we describe the “fight‐and‐flight” responses of a …
