The visual ecology of selective predation: Are unhealthy hosts less stealthy hosts?

2021-07-28

Abstract excerpt

Predators can strongly influence disease transmission and evolution, particularly when they prey selectively on infected hosts. Although selective predation has been observed in numerous systems, why predators select infected prey remains poorly understood. Here, we use a model of predator vision to test a longstanding hypothesis as to the mechanistic basis of selective predation in a Daphnia -microparasite syste...
