Fitness consequences of personality: a meta-analysis (2008, background): “There has, thus, been increasing interest in the idea of training animals to fear predators prior to release (Griffin et al. 2000) or to selectively release particular behavioral phenotypes (Bremner-Harrison et al. 2004) to counter these unintended consequences of captivity.”
Environmental enrichment reduces maladaptive risk-taking behavior in salmon reared for conservation (2011, background): “The development of maladapted behaviors has long been recognized as one of the most pervasive shortcomings of artificial rearing (Dawkins, 2003; Huntingford and Adams, 2005; Garner, 2005), and probably explains the failure of many animal reintroductions (Griffin et al., 2000; Seddon et al., 2007).”
Learning specificity in acquired predator recognition (2001, background): “…Maloney & McLean 1995; McLean et al. 996, 1999, 2000; McLean 1997; Richards 1998). esponses to predators have been successfully enhanced ith a range of conditioning techniques in which indiiduals learn to associate the target predator with an npleasant experience (reviewed by Griffin et al. 2000).”
Animal Domestication and Behavior (2003, background): “It is also likely that individuals of prey species learn to recognize predators and show appropriate anti-predator behaviors by observing the responses of conspecifics or individuals of other species to key predators (Griffin et al., 2000).”
Learning, memory and predator avoidance by freshwater snails: effects of experience on predator recognition and defensive strategy (2006, background): “Studies of learned predator recognition have focused on vertebrates (e.g. Dill 1974; Griffin et al. 2000; Whitam & Mathis 2000), as their neural complexity and cognitive sophistication make them likely candidates for modification of antipredator behaviours by environmental conditioning.”
Behavioural processes affecting development: Tinbergen's fourth question comes of age (2003, background): “Conservation biologists are already aware of this problem (e.g. as evidenced by attempts to ‘train’ captive-raised animals to recognize predators before releasing them in their new habitats; Griffin et al. 2000).”
Less is more: social learning of predator recognition requires a low demonstrator to observer ratio in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) (2004, background): “1998; Wallace 2000), as well as suffer from adverse selection pressures (Johnsson and Abrahams 1991; Fern and J rvi 1998; Griffin et al. 2000).”
Managing Love and Death at the Zoo: The Biopolitics of Endangered Species Preservation (2011, background): “Efforts are made to prepare animals for reintroduction by programming wildness within the zoo, by mimicking (or ‘priming’ for) predation, disease, competition, foraging, and by training the animals in ‘survival skills’ lost in captivity (Griffin et al. 2000).”
Behavioural and physiological responses of naïve European rabbits to predator odour (2005, background): “However, under natural conditions various effects of learning might modulate this response (Griffin et al. 2000; Blumstein et al. 2002; Kavaliers et al. 2003).”
The development of alarm-call behaviour in mammals and birds (2009, background): “The consistent pattern from these studies is that cues from experienced conspecifics trigger learning about predators (Griffin et al. 2000).”
Rodent foraging is affected by indirect, but not by direct, cues of predation risk (2004, background): “Understanding how prey assess and respond to risk may provide insight into how predation risk affects the structure of ecological communities (Brown et al., 1999; Kotler, 1984; Schmitz et al., 1997), including decimation of prey by introduced predators (Williamson, 1996) and the reintroduction of ra”
