- Effect of initial body orientation on escape probability of prey fish escaping from predators
Summary: Our predator-prey experiments reveal that prey's initial body orientation relative to a predator affects the flight initiation distance and turn duration of prey and consequently affects escape probability.
- The constant threat from a non-native predator increases tail muscle and fast-start swimming performance in Xenopus tadpoles
Summary: Xenopus tadpoles exposed to a non-native predator increase their tail length, muscle tissue and swimming speed, all of which are functionally adaptive and induced by tadpole survival behavior.
- Inter- vs intra-individual variation and temporal repeatability of escape responses in the coral reef fish Amblyglyphidodon curacao
Summary: Quantification of the inter- and intra-individual variation in behavioural and kinematic components of escape performance of the tropical damselfish Amblyglyphidodon curacao found no evidence of habituation or fatigue due to repeated stimulations.
