Exploring the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on predator inspection activity in Trinidadian guppies

Author(s): Brusseau AJP; Feyten LEA; Crane AL; Brown GE;

No abstract available

Article GUID: 38476138


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 f ...

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 describ ...

Microhabitat conditions drive uncertainty of risk and shape neophobic responses in Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata

Author(s): Feyten LEA; Ramnarine IW; Brown GE;

In response to uncertain risks, prey may rely on neophobic phenotypes to reduce the costs associated with the lack of information regarding local conditions. Neophobia has been shown to be driven by information reliability, ambient risk and predator diversi ...

Assessing effects of predator density and diversity on neophobia in Trinidadian guppies

Author(s): Feyten LEA; Demers EEM; Ramnarine IW; Brown GE;

Neophobic predator avoidance, where prey actively avoid novel stimuli, is thought to allow prey to cope with the inability to predict predation risk (i.e. uncertainty) while reducing the costs associated with learning. Recent studies suggest that neophobia ...

Exploratory decisions of Trinidadian guppies when uncertain about predation risk

Author(s): Crane AL; Demers EE; Feyten LEA; Ramnarine IW; Brown GE;

Animals can reduce their uncertainty of predation risk by gathering new information via exploration behaviour. However, a decision to explore may also be costly due to increased predator exposure. Here, we found contextual effects of predation risk on the e ...

Early-life and parental predation risk shape fear acquisition in adult minnows.

Author(s): Crane AL, Meuthen D, Thapa H, Ferrari MCO, Brown GE

Exposure to predation risk can induce a fearful baseline state, as well as fear reactions toward novel situations (i.e., neophobia). Some research indicates that risk exposure during sensitive periods makes adults more prone to acquiring long-term fearful p ...

Exploring the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis on mate competition in two wild populations of Trinidadian guppies.

Author(s): Chuard PJC, Grant JWA, Ramnarine IW, Brown GE

The intensity of mate competition is often influenced by predation pressure. The threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis predicts that prey should precisely adjust their fitness-related activities to the level of perceived acute predation risk and th ...

The propensity for re-triggered predation fear in a prey fish.

Author(s): Crane AL, Feyten LEA, Ramnarine IW, Brown GE

Sci Rep. 2020 Jun 09;10(1):9253 Authors: Crane AL, Feyten LEA, Ramnarine IW, Brown GE
