What an animal needs to learn to survive is altered dramatically as they change from
dependence on the parent for protection to independence and reliance on self-defense. This …

Measuring local adaptation can provide insights into how coevolution occurs between
predators and prey. Specifically, theory predicts that local adaptation in functionally matched …

Mechanistically linking movement behaviors and ecology is key to understanding the
adaptive evolution of locomotion. Predator evasion, a behavior that enhances fitness, may …

Highlights•Prey face trade-offs across multiple stages of the antipredator response.•We
explore repeatability of antipredator responses and correlations between stages.•Human …

Understanding how interspecific interactions mould the molecular basis of adaptations in
coevolving species is a long‐sought goal of evolutionary biology. Venom in predators and …

Sensory integration theory predicts natural selection should favour adaptive responses of
animals to multiple forms of information, yet empirical tests of this prediction are rare …

Foraging is a key aspect of a species' ecology and decisions made while foraging affect
fitness in many ways. Although much research has focused on snake foraging, only a …

As humans continue to alter natural habitats, many wild animals are facing novel suites of
environmental stimuli. These changes, including increased human–wildlife interactions, may …

Natural selection is expected to favor the evolution of threat-sensitive behaviors that permit
individuals to adaptively detect and respond to danger. However, because time allocated to …

Anthropogenic noise is an increasingly widespread pollutant, with a rapidly burgeoning
literature demonstrating impacts on humans and other animals. However, most studies have …
