Escape behaviour often differs between sexes, reproductive states and ages. Escape theory
predicts that flight initiation distance (FID= predator–prey distance when escape begins) …

Long-term studies of animal microbiomes under natural conditions are valuable for
understanding the effects of host demographics and environmental factors on host …

Lizard diets are highly diverse and have contributed to the diversification, biogeographical
distributions, and evolution of novel traits across this global radiation. Many parts of a lizard's …

Animal signals evolve by striking a balance between the need to convey information through
particular habitats and the limitations of what types of signals can most easily be produced …

Animals and their microbiomes exert reciprocal influence; the host's environment,
physiology, and phylogeny can impact the composition of the microbiome, while the …

Escape theory predicts that flight initiation distance (predator–prey distance when escape
begins) increases as predation risk increases and decreases as cost of fleeing increases …

Foraging efficiency of predators can be evaluated by using optimality or profitability models
which incorporate prey choice, handling time and pursuit or search time. Optimality of a diet …

Optimal-escape theory predicts that flight initiation distance (predator–prey distance when
fleeing starts) increases as predation risk increases; optimal-refuge-use theory predicts that …

Variation in individual activity budgets may have important impacts for the long-term fitness
of a population, yet our understanding of the factors sha** activity remains limited. Here …

When an immobile prey has detected an immobile predator nearby, predation risk is greater
when the predator is closer. Consequently, prey flee with shorter latency as standing …
