C-start

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effect of initial body orientation on escape probability of prey fish escaping from predators
    Hibiki Kimura, Yuuki Kawabata
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio023812 doi: 10.1242/bio.023812 Published 16 July 2018

    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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The constant threat from a non-native predator increases tail muscle and fast-start swimming performance in Xenopus tadpoles
    Tsukasa Mori, Yukio Yanagisawa, Yoichiro Kitani, Goshi Yamamoto, Naoko Goto-Inoue, Tadashi Kimura, Keiko Kashiwagi, Akihiko Kashiwagi
    Biology Open 2017 6: 1726-1733; doi: 10.1242/bio.029926

    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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Inter- vs intra-individual variation and temporal repeatability of escape responses in the coral reef fish Amblyglyphidodon curacao
    Maïwenn Jornod, Dominique G. Roche
    Biology Open 2015 4: 1395-1399; doi: 10.1242/bio.013508

    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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Fast-starting after a breath: air-breathing motions are kinematically similar to escape responses in the catfish Hoplosternum littorale
    Paolo Domenici, Tommy Norin, Peter G. Bushnell, Jacob L. Johansen, Peter Vilhelm Skov, Morten B. S. Svendsen, John F. Steffensen, Augusto S. Abe
    Biology Open 2015 4: 79-85; doi: 10.1242/bio.20149332
