Tactical allocation of effort among multiple signals in sage grouse: an experiment with a robotic female (2010, background): “Display behaviors may also incur costs by inciting aggression from neighboring territory holders (Westcott 1997; Pryke et al. 2001) or by increasing the risk of predation via increased conspicuousness, reduced vigilance or reduced ability to escape (Endler 1987; Cooper 1999; Koga et al. 2001).”
Hiding behaviour in fiddler crabs: how long should prey hide in response to a potential predator? (2003, background): “…predator moving directly, rather than tangentially, towards them (e.g. Burger & Gochfield 1990; Bulova 1994; Cooper 1997; Martín & López 1999; for fiddler crabs see Koga et al. 2001); and that the closer a predator the more likely prey are to flee (Ydenberg & Dill 1986; Kramer & Bonenfant 1997).”
Predator avoidance in fiddler crabs: 2. The visual cues (2005, background): “We do not know what triggers burrow descent (Nalbach 1987; Koga et al. 2001), but I would predict that apparent size or looming are likely candidates, as they convey more risk-related information than retinal speed.”
Costs of bearing a sexually selected ornamental weapon in a fiddler crab (2007, result): “Contrary to this expectation, large male fiddler crabs commonly exhibit enhanced survival relative to juveniles or females (Bildstein, McDowell & Brisbin 1989; Backwell, O’Hara & Christy 1998; Iribarne & Martinez 1999; Johnson 2003; but see Koga et al . 2001 ).”
