Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “…Halobates robustus (Foster and Treherne, 1981), butterflies Lepidoptera (Burger and Gochfeld, 2001), web-building spiders Meteperia incrassata (Uetz et al., 2002), northern bobwhites Colinus virginianus (Williams et al., 2003), wood pigeons Columba palumbus (Kenward, 1978), redshanks…”
Responses of elk herd size to fine-scale spatial and temporal variation in the risk of predation by wolves (2005, unknown): “This pattern has been confirmed by many observational and experimental studies of birds, fish and invertebrates (Kenward 1978; Pulliam & Caraco 1984; Lima 1995a, b; Krause & Ruxton 2002; Uetz et al. 2002), although less is known about group size and predation risk for mammalian predators and prey (M”
Sociality in New World hystricognath rodents is linked to predators and burrow digging (2006, background): “Abundant evidence from within-species studies on vertebrates and invertebrates generally supports the hypothesis that individuals in larger groups increase collective vigilance and predator detection (e.g., Ebensperger and Wallem, 2002; Hoogland, 1981; Kenward, 1978; Uetz et al., 2002), dilute their”
