• Learning about Danger: Chemical Alarm Cues and Threat‐Sensitive Assessment of Predation Risk by Fishes (2011, background): “Recent studies suggest that there is often a strong relationship between the relative concentration of alarm cues prey detect and the intensity of the antipredator responses displayed by the prey (Jachner & Rydz 2002; Dupuch et al. 2004; Brown et al. 2006a, 2009).”
• The dynamic nature of antipredator behavior: prey fish integrate threat-sensitive antipredator responses within background levels of predation risk (2006, background): “Recently, Brown et al. (2006) showed that juvenile convict cichlids (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus) exhibit flexible threat-sensitive response patterns, shifting from nongraded (hypersensitive; Helfman and Winkelman 1997) to graded responses in response to conspecific alarm cues as group size…”
• Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, background): “Brown et al.(2006b) have recently shown that such variability in ambient predation risk influences the threat-sensitive decisions made by juvenile convict cichlids.”
• Chemical ecology of predator–prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems: a review and prospectusThe present review is one in the special series of reviews on animal–plant interactions. (2010, unknown): “Brown et al. (2006a) found that large groups of convict cichlids exposed to conspecific alarm cues showed lower intensity antipredator responses than small groups of cichlids.”
