• Learning about Danger: Chemical Alarm Cues and Threat‐Sensitive Assessment of Predation Risk by Fishes (2011, background): “Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas, Cyprinidae), for example, are known to distinguish predator size, predator proximity and predator density – all based on predator odours (Kusch et al. 2004; Ferrari et al. 2006b).”
• Can foraging birds assess predation risk by scent (2008, background): “For example, fathead minnows , Pimephales promelas, can detect the density, size and proximity of their predators by chemical cues alone (Kusch et al. 2004; Ferrari et al. 2006).”
• The role of learning in the development of threat-sensitive predator avoidance by fathead minnows (2005, background): “Kusch et al. (2004) also demonstrated that experienced fathead minnows could determine the degree of threat posed by northern pike based on the concentration of chemical predator cues used.”
• Learning threat-sensitive predator avoidance: how do fathead minnows incorporate conflicting information? (2006, background): “Fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, that had been exposed to pike, Esox lucius, increased the intensity of their antipredator responses when exposed to increased concentrations of pike odour (Kusch et al. 2004).”
