Critical Literature Review of the Evidence for Unpalatability of Amphibian Eggs and Larvae (2005, background): “Amphibian larvae have antipredator behaviors and activity patterns that allow them to reduce their encounter rates with predators (Kats et al., 1988; Lawler, 1989; Richardson, 2001a).”
Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution (2007, methodology): “Comparative methods, however, have rarely been used to study temperament (but see Mettke-Hofmann et al., 2002; Richardson, 2001).”
Body shape, burst speed and escape behavior of larval anurans (2005, unknown): “Because larger tadpoles are generally faster swimmers (Wassersug and Sperry 1977, Van Buskirk and McCollum 2000b, Richardson 2001b, 2002, Arendt 2003), better at escaping predator attacks (Caldwell 1982, arena.”
ANTIPREDATOR BEHAVIOR AND PHYSIOLOGY DETERMINE LESTES SPECIES TURNOVER ALONG THE POND-PERMANENCE GRADIENT (2003, background): “However, when many frog species from across the entire hydroperiod gradient were compared, predicted interspecific patterns of activity were not apparent, which begs the question of the generality of activity as the key mediating trait of this trade-off (Richardson 2001a, b).”
