Effects of group size on the threat-sensitive response to varying concentrations of chemical alarm cues by juvenile convict cichlids (2006, background): “…learning (Kelley and Magurran 2003), familiarity and (or) relatedness among group members (Chivers et al. 1995; Ward and Hart 2003; Hoare et al. 2004), ontogeny (Chivers et al. 2001; Golub and Brown 2003), and availability of additional information (Brown and Godin 1999; Smith and Belk 2001).”
Responses of American toad tadpoles to predation cues: behavioural response thresholds, threat-sensitivity and acquired predation recognition (2006, unknown): “The supposition that prey animals adjust the intensity of their antipredator response to match the degree of threat posed by a predator is known as the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis (Helfman, 1989; Chivers et al., 2001).”
Learning about Danger: Chemical Alarm Cues and Threat‐Sensitive Assessment of Predation Risk by Fishes (2011, background): “This supposition is known as threat-sensitive predator avoidance (Helfman 1989; Chivers et al. 2001) Threat-sensitive assessment of predation risk is complicated by the fact that predation itself is highly variable in space and time (Sih et al.”
The dynamic nature of antipredator behavior: prey fish integrate threat-sensitive antipredator responses within background levels of predation risk (2006, background): “…deal of research has addressed the question of threat-sensitive predator avoidance in a wide variety of prey taxa (e.g., Rochette et al. 1997; Persons and Rypstra 2001; Laurila et al. 1997; Bulova 1994), including freshwater fishes (Bishop and Brown 1992; Chivers et al. 2001; Brown et al. 2006).”
Wall lizards combine chemical and visual cues of ambush snake predators to avoid overestimating risk inside refuges (2004, unknown): “In contrast, slimy sculpins, Cottus cognatus, showed threat-sensitive predator avoidance when exposed only to visual cues, but not when exposed only to chemical cues from a predator (Chivers et al. 2001).”
Learning threat-sensitive predator avoidance: how do fathead minnows incorporate conflicting information? (2006, background): “Many studies have examined threat-sensitive predator avoidance in aquatic organisms: freshwater isopods (Holomuzki & Short 1990), mayflies (McIntosh et al. 1999), amphibians (Kats et al. 1994; Anholt et al. 1996; Mathis & Vincent 2000; Amo et al. 2004) and fish (Williams & Brown 1991; Hartman & Abra”
Predation risk assessment by olfactory and visual cues in a coral reef fish (2008, methodology): “Recent research on freshwater Wshes has revealed a more complex situation, with chemical alarm cues indicating the presence of a predator, and visual cues being used to accurately modify the response to the degree of threat imposed (Hartman and Abrahams 2000; Chivers et al. 2001).”
The role of learning in the development of threat-sensitive predator avoidance by fathead minnows (2005, background): “Prey individuals capable of adjusting the intensity of their antipredator response to match their risk should be at a selective advantage (Chivers et al. 2001).”
Making sense of predator scents: investigating the sophistication of predator assessment abilities of fathead minnows (2004, background): “Slimy sculpins (Cottus cognatus) avoid areas containing brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis) large enough to pose a predation threat, but not areas containing char too small to pose a threat (Chivers et al. 2001).”
Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, background): “In addition, several authors have shown threat-sensitive responses to both visual (Bishop and Brown 1992; Chivers et al.2001) and chemosensory cues Communicated by T. Bakker G. E. Brown (*) : C. J. Macnaughton : C. K. Elvidge Department of Biology, Concordia University, 7141 Sherbrooke St. W.,…”
Threat-sensitive generalization of predator recognition by larval amphibians (2009, unknown): “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).”
