Changing the habitat: the evolution of intercorrelated traits to escape from predators.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2016

Mikolajewski D J, Scharnweber K, Jiang B, Leicht S, Mauersberger R, Johansson F

Abstract excerpt

Burst escape speed is an effective and widely used behaviour for evading predators, with burst escape speed relying on several different morphological features. However, we know little about how behavioural and underlying morphological attributes change in concert as a response to changes in selective predation regime. We studied intercorrelated trait differentiation of body shape and burst-swim-mediating...
