Learning, memory and predator avoidance by freshwater snails: effects of experience on predator recognition and defensive strategy (2006, background): “For example, work with fish shows that they can learn to recognize predators by associating the odours of predators with the odours of injured prey (Magurran 1989; Mirza & Chivers 2000; Ferrari et al. 2005; Larson & McCormick 2005).”
The paradox of risk allocation: a review and prospectus (2009, unknown): “Increased concentrations of alarm cues have been shown to elicit increased antipredator responses in some prey (Ferrari et al. 2005, 2008b).”

Innate and Learned Predator Recognition Mediated by Chemical Signals in Eurycea nana (2008, background): “…prey may use experience with predators to assess predation risk and adjust the intensity of their avoidance responses accordingly (Brown 2003; Ferrari et al. 2005; Gonzalo et al. 2007), which reduces the costs associated with predator avoidance such as time allocation trade-offs between…”
Responses of American toad tadpoles to predation cues: behavioural response thresholds, threat-sensitivity and acquired predation recognition (2006, unknown): “Since this finding, numerous other investigators have examined the same phenomenon in fathead minnows (Wisenden & Harter, 2001; Ferrari et al., 2005; Ferrari & Chivers, 2006a) and other fishes, including zebra danios (Brachydanio rerio: Suboski et al., 1990), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss:…”
Threat-sensitive generalization of predator recognition by larval amphibians (2009, methodology): “Moreover, the tadpoles learn to subsequently respond to the newt odor with increasing anti-predator responses (threat-sensitive learning, Ferrari et al. 2005, 2008b).”
The dynamic nature of antipredator behavior: prey fish integrate threat-sensitive antipredator responses within background levels of predation risk (2006, background): “…below this point, prey may exhibit covert (Smith 1999) antipredator responses, such as changes in foraging posture (Foam et al. 2005b), increased reliance on visual risk assessment cues (Brown et al. 2004a), or the acquisition of novel predator cues (Brown et al. 2001a; Ferrari et al. 2005).”

Learning threat-sensitive predator avoidance: how do fathead minnows incorporate conflicting information? (2006, methodology): “The same concentrations as in experiment 1 were used to prepare the low and high concentrations of alarm cues, and these concentrations are the same as those used by Ferrari et al. (2005).”
The nose knows: minnows determine predator proximity and density through detection of predator odours (2006, methodology): “We used a well-established protocol to quantify the antipredator behaviour of the minnows (e.g. Mathis & Smith 1993b; Ferrari et al. 2005) based on the following three behavioural measures.”
Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, background): “Previous work has shown that the relative concentration of alarm cue detected is a reliable indicator for the level of immediate predation threat in aquatic prey organisms (Lawrence & Smith 1989; Dupuch et al. 2004; Ferrari et al. 2005; Brown et al. 2006a).”
Environmental enrichment reduces maladaptive risk-taking behavior in salmon reared for conservation (2011, background): “However, selection may be expected to favour a correct assessment of escalating predation threats (Wisenden, 2000; Brown, 2003), resulting in either avoidance or inspection behavior (e.g. Brown and Godin, 1999; Ferrari et al., 2005).”
