The evolution and ecology of multiple antipredator defences

DW Kikuchi, WL Allen, K Arbuckle… - Journal of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Prey seldom rely on a single type of antipredator defence, often using multiple defences to
avoid predation. In many cases, selection in different contexts may favour the evolution of …

Evolutionary ecology of fish venom: adaptations and consequences of evolving a venom system

RJ Harris, RA Jenner - Toxins, 2019 - mdpi.com

Body shape and mode of propulsion do not constrain routine swimming in coral reef fishes

DR Satterfield, T Claverie, PC Wainwright - Functional Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
It is widely believed that because of biomechanical trade‐offs, fish body shape and the
mode of propulsion are strong predictors of swimming performance, with the best cruisers …
