Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear (2017, neutral): “Moreover, this case study is a seminal example in broader debates about the ecological consequences of fear (Ripple and Beschta 2004, Zanette et al. 2011) and the importance of apex predators to the structure and function of ecosystems (Terborgh and Estes 2010, Dobson 2014).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “…increased nest predation risk can yield a decrease in provisioning rate in both ecological time through plasticity (reviewed in Martin and Briskie 2009; also Zanette et al. 2011; Mutzel et al. 2013; Hua et al. 2014), and in evolutionary time as seen among species (Martin et al. 2000, 2011).”
Fearing the feline: domestic cats reduce avian fecundity through trait-mediated indirect effects that increase nest predation by other species (2013, background): “A small number of intraspecific studies provide empirical evidence for reduced provisioning rates in response to nest predators (Ghalambor & Martin 2000; Dunn, Hamer & Benton 2010) that can promote smaller clutches (Zanette et al. 2011).”
Effects of predation risk on group size, vigilance, and foraging behavior in an African ungulate community (2014, background): “2013), as has been shown experimentally with many other taxa (Peckarsky et al. 1993; Zanette et al. 2011).”
Evaluating stress in natural populations of vertebrates: total CORT is not good enough (2013, background): “The third approach is to experimentally impose a stressor and compare control and treatment groups (Zanette et al. 2011).”
Landscapes of Fear: Spatial Patterns of Risk Perception and Response. (2019, background): “Subsequent studies linked antipredator strategies to physiological outcomes, including stress and reproduction [82,83].”
The ecology of stress: effects of the social environment (2013, background): “However, recently Zanette et al. (2011) simulated a strong increase in the perceived risk of predation using predator vocalization playbacks and observed behavioural changes in territorial female song sparrows, associated with a nearly 40% reduction in clutch size at fledgling.”
Increased perception of predation risk to adults and offspring alters avian reproductive strategy and performance (2014, result): “Overall, our results demonstrate the strong impacts of the nonconsumptive effects of predation risk on avian reproduction (Fontaine and Martin 2006; Zanette et al. 2011) and highlight the different mechanisms by which breeding bluebirds may adjust reproductive strategies under different predation ri”
Fear of the human “super predator” far exceeds the fear of large carnivores in a model mesocarnivore (2016, methodology): “…inter-pretable means of testing the reactions of free-living wildlife to predator cues (Durant 2000; Eggers et al. 2006; Clinchy et al. 2011; Zanette et al. 2011; Hua et al. 2014; LaManna and Martin 2016; Suraci et al. 2016), and a 2014 review identified 180 such experiments on everything…”
What Can Ethobehavioral Studies Tell Us About The Brain’s Fear System? (2016, background): “Recent work by Zanette and colleagues [60,61] used playbacks of predator vocalizations to effectively manipulate fear in songbirds (Melospiza melodia) and wild raccoons (Procyon lotor), demonstrating that innate fear alone has significant effects not only on the natural foraging decisions of diverse”
