Not worth the risk: apex predators suppress herbivory on coral reefs (2014, background): “Th e observed herbivore foraging behaviour and decreased rates of macroalgal consumption near predator models indicate that herbivorous reef fi shes display a threat-sensitive response to the presence (or absence) of a potential predator (Helfman 1989).”
Effects of risk, cost, and their interaction on optimal escape by nonrefuging Bonaire whiptail lizards, Cnemidophorus murinus (2003, background): “The threat-sensitivity hypothesis (Helfman, 1989) states that risk is traded off against cost in a graded manner.”
Small-scale distribution of juvenile gadoids in shallow inshore waters; what role does maerl play? (2004, methodology): “2/672739 Downloaded f by guest on 25 July 2 r 0 Numbers of fish of larger size classes in each net were used as a covariate, because adult and larger conspecific presence affects juvenile abundance either through predation or local juvenile avoidance (Helfman, 1989; Rangeley and Kramer, 1998).”
Body size and reserve protection affect flight initiation distance in parrotfishes (2009, background): “Indirect support for this idea comes from the observation that studies reporting an increase in FID with size for fishes used a person as a stimulus (Grant and Noakes 1987; this study), whereas those finding no response or a negative one in fishes and aquatic insects used a predatory fish or fish mo”
Temporal variability, threat sensitivity and conflicting information about the nature of risk: understanding the dynamics of tadpole antipredator behaviour (2009, positive): “Prey that are able to adjust the intensity of their antipredator behaviour to match the level of risk posed by the predator, a phenomenon known as threat-sensitive predator avoidance, should be at a selective advantage, as they optimize the trade-off between costly but necessary predator avoidance a”
Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, background): “For example, Helfman (1989) and Helfman and Winkleman 1997) examined the antipredator response patterns (i.e., visual reaction distance, duration of response) in two sympatric damselfish species exposed to model predator threats.”
Effects of group size on the threat-sensitive response to varying concentrations of chemical alarm cues by juvenile convict cichlids (2006, background): “Helfman (1989) proposed a model of threat-sensitive predator avoidance, which argues that prey should be able to balance these trade-offs if they could adjust the intensity of the antipredator response according to the degree of perceived predation threat.”
Making sense of predator scents: investigating the sophistication of predator assessment abilities of fathead minnows (2004, background): “) models that were larger, orientated in a strike pose and closer in proximity (Helfman 1989).”
Threat-sensitive generalization of predator recognition by larval amphibians (2009, background): “Hence, prey individuals should adjust the intensity of their anti-predator responses to match the level of risk posed by the predator in order to optimize this trade-off (Helfman 1989; Chivers et al. 2001).”
The role of learning in the development of threat-sensitive predator avoidance by fathead minnows (2005, result): “These results follow the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis (Helfman 1989).”
Behavioural correlations across situations and the evolution of antipredator behaviour in a sunfish–salamander system (2003, background): “This pattern of exposure fits the threat-sensitivity hypothesis, which posits that exposure should be inversely proportional to predation risk (Sih 1986; Helfman 1989).”
Response of juvenile rainbow trout to varying concentrations of chemical alarm cue: response thresholds and survival during encounters with predators (2003, background): “Often the intensity of an animal’s antipredator response reflects the level of threat posed by the predator (Helfman 1989; Chivers et al. 2001).”
Context-dependent group size choice in fish (2004, background): “…regarding predatory threats (Smith & Belk 2001) and it seems likely that killifish in our study displayed a graded, threat-sensitive response (sensu Helfman 1989) to our nondirectional alarm cue, allowing them to retain some of the safety benefits of group membership without incurring excessive…”
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, positive): “Hence, prey should use cue concentration to adjust the intensity of their antipredator responses in a threat-sensitive manner (Helfman 1989) to optimize fitness in the trade-off between costly predator avoidance and fitness-related activities.”
Effects of risk assessment, predator behavior, and habitat on escape behavior in Columbian black-tailed deer (2007, background): “…recognition and species recognition (Curio 1993; Coss and Ramakrishnan 2000; Payne et al. 2004), 2) the level of threat posed by the predator (Helfman 1989; Rowe and Owings 1990, 1996; Swaisgood, Owings, et al. 1999a; Swaisgood Rowe, et al. 1999b), 3) when to flee based on the distance to…”
The nose knows: minnows determine predator proximity and density through detection of predator odours (2006, background): “For instance, Helfman (1989) demonstrated that three-spot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons, showed more intense antipredator responses to a model trumpetfish (Aulostomus maculatus) as the predator model was closer, larger or in a strike pose.”
The dynamic nature of antipredator behavior: prey fish integrate threat-sensitive antipredator responses within background levels of predation risk (2006, background): “antipredator response according to the degree of threat is referred to as the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis (Helfman 1989; Helfman and Winkelman 1997).”
Wall lizards combine chemical and visual cues of ambush snake predators to avoid overestimating risk inside refuges (2004, positive): “The threat sensitivity hypothesis proposes that animals should accurately assess the risk of predation, and respond in a graded manner in accordance with the threat posed by the predator (Helfman 1989).”
