Responses of American toad tadpoles to predation cues: behavioural response thresholds, threat-sensitivity and acquired predation recognition (2006, unknown): “In general, predation is highly variable through time and space (Hileman & Brodie, 1994; Sih et al., 2000; Mathis et al., 2003).”
Chemical ecology of predator–prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems: a review and prospectusThe present review is one in the special series of reviews on animal–plant interactions. (2010, unknown): “…snails (Turner 1996; Dalesman et al. 2007a) and salmonid fishes (Berejikian et al. 2003; Vilhunen and Hirvonen 2003; Hawkins et al. 2004, 2007; Scheurer et al. 2007), as well as larval toads (Laurila et al. 1997; Gallie et al. 2001) and salamanders (Mathis et al. 2003; Epp and Gabor 2008).”
Size-selectivity of predatory reef fish on juvenile prey (2010, background): “The idea that prey body size has a large influence on the outcome of predator-prey encounters is not new to the field of ecology (Litvak & Leggett 1992, Janzen 1993, Mathis et al. 2003).”
Making sense of predator scents: investigating the sophistication of predator assessment abilities of fathead minnows (2004, background): “For example, some species exhibit ontogenetic changes in their responses to predatory stimuli because their vulnerability changes as they grow in size (Kats et al. 1994; Brown et al. 2001; Mathis et al. 2003).”
