Olfaction and reaction: The role of olfactory and hypothalamic investment in the antipredator responses to chemical alarm cues by northern redbelly dace

Author(s): Joyce BJ; Brown GE;

Neuroplasticity enables teleosts to promote or downregulate the growth of their brains regionally. To compensate for the effects of predation pressure, teleosts may alter their brain morphology and behavioral responses to mitigate its impact on individual fitness. High-predation environments often promote specific patterns of brain growth and produce bold ...

Uncertainty about predation risk: a conceptual review

Author(s): Crane AL; Feyten LEA; Preagola AA; Ferrari MCO; Brown GE;

Uncertainty has long been of interest to economists and psychologists and has more recently gained attention among ecologists. In the ecological world, animals must regularly make decisions related to finding resources and avoiding threats. Here, we describe uncertainty as a perceptual phenomenon of decision-makers, and we focus specifically on the functi ...

Disturbance cues function as a background risk cue but not as an associative learning cue in tadpoles

Author(s): Rivera-Hernández IAE; Crane AL; Pollock MS; Ferrari MCO;

Chemical information has an important role in the sensory ecology of aquatic species. For aquatic prey, chemical cues are a vital source of information related to predator avoidance and risk assessment. For instance, alarm cues are released by prey that have been injured by predators. In addition to providing accurate information about current risk, repea ...

Environmental and anthropogenic effects on the nesting patterns of Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees in North-West Cameroon

Author(s): Fotang C; Bröring U; Roos C; Enoguanbhor EC; Dutton P; Tédonzong LRD; Willie J; Yuh YG; Birkhofer K;

Environmental conditions and human activity influence the selection of nest sites by chimpanzees and may have serious conservation implications. We examined the characteristics of nesting trees preferred by chimpanzees, investigated the effect of vegetation composition and topography on nest site ...
