Risky prey behavior evolves in risky habitats.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Sept 2007

Urban Mark C

Abstract excerpt

Longstanding theory in behavioral ecology predicts that prey should evolve decreased foraging rates under high predation threat. However, an alternative perspective suggests that growth into a size refuge from gape-limited predation and the future benefits of large size can outweigh the initial survival costs of intense foraging. Here, I evaluate the relative contributions of selection from a gape-limited...
