Effects of behavioral and morphological plasticity on risk of predation in a Neotropical tadpole.

Oecologia - 1 Sept 2004

McIntyre Peter B, Baldwin Sandra, Flecker Alexander S

Abstract excerpt

Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity is widespread among aquatic animals, however the relative contributions of behavioral and morphological shifts to reducing risk of predation remain uncertain. We tested the phenotypic plasticity of a Neotropical tadpole ( Rana palmipes) in response to chemical cues from predatory Belostoma water bugs, and how phenotype affects risk of predation. Behavior, morphology, and...
