Phenotypically plastic neophobia: a response to variable predation risk.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2013

Brown Grant E, Ferrari Maud C O, Elvidge Chris K, Ramnarine Indar, Chivers Douglas P

Abstract excerpt

Prey species possess a variety of morphological, life history and behavioural adaptations to evade predators. While specific evolutionary conditions have led to the expression of permanent, non-plastic anti-predator traits, the vast majority of prey species rely on experience to express adaptive anti-predator defences. While ecologists have identified highly sophisticated means through which naive prey can deal...
