| sex-based differences in anti-predator response of crickets to chemical cues of a mammalian predator. | anti-predator behaviors like vigilance or hiding come at the expense of other fitness increasing behaviors such as foraging. to compensate for this trade-off, prey assess predation risk and modify the frequency of anti-predator behaviors according to the likelihood of the threat. in this study, we tested the ability of house crickets (acheta domesticus) to indirectly assess predation risk via odors from a mammalian predator, elliot's short-tailed shrew (blarina hylophaga). as natural differences ... | 2018 | 29910976 |
