Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, background): “…exhibit significantly lower intensities of antipredator behaviour when they perceive a predation threat and increased foraging activity in the absence of any perceived threat (e.g. Hamilton and Heithaus 2001; Sih and McCarthy 2002; Koivisto and Pusenius 2003; Foam et al.2005a; Ferrari et al.2008).”
Mortality by moonlight: predation risk and the snowshoe hare (2005, background): “Laboratory and fieldenclosure experiments have assessed the predation risk allocation hypothesis by simulating variable risk with the scent of depredated conspecifics or predators or the nearby presence of predators themselves (Koivisto and Pusenius, 2003; Pecor and Hazlett, 2003; Sih and McCarthy, ”
Body shape, burst speed and escape behavior of larval anurans (2005, unknown): “This method does not record activity levels per se rather it provides the proportion of tadpoles moving at each observation (Skelly 1994).”
Antipredator behavior in blackbirds: habituation complements risk allocation (2009, background): “Nevertheless, one common problem in the studies testing the risk allocation hypothesis is that habituation cannot be ruled out as a competing hypothesis (Hamilton and Heithaus 2001; Pecor and Hazlett 2003; Mirza et al. 2006; but see Sih and McCarthy 2002 ).”
Responses of elk herd size to fine-scale spatial and temporal variation in the risk of predation by wolves (2005, unknown): “Behavioural responses to predation risk include increased vigilance (Elgar 1989), reduced foraging time (Hughes & Ward 1993; Abramsky et al. 2002), reduced movement ( Sih & McCarthy 2002 ), habitat shifts (e.g.”
Causes and consequences of invertebrate drift in running waters: from individuals to populations and trophic fluxes (2016, background): “…Models 574 Behaviourally induced drift has been modeled as a form of active patch selection and builds on 575 the trade-off animals make between increasing energy intake and elevating predation risk while 576 foraging (Werner and Gilliam 1984; Gilliam and Fraser 1987; Sih and McCarthy 2002).”
Cue association and antipredator behaviour in a pulmonate snail, Lymnaea stagnalis (2006, background): “In experiments, this combination of cues either takes the form of the predator feeding on conspecifics (Crowl & Covich 1990; Loose & Dawidowicz 1994; Sih & McCarthy 2002; Turner & Montgomery 2003; Jacobsen & Stabell 2004) or predator cues paired with crushed conspecific, thought to simulate a…”
The dynamic nature of antipredator behavior: prey fish integrate threat-sensitive antipredator responses within background levels of predation risk (2006, background): “One common criticism of the risk allocation model is that any decrease in activity might be due to habituation to predation risk rather than a behavioral decision per se (Hamilton and Heithaus 2001; Sih and McCarthy 2002; Peacor and Hazlett 2003).”
Effects of predation risk on group size, vigilance, and foraging behavior in an African ungulate community (2014, background): “We found that 1) the strength of antipredator responses was affected by attributes of the predator, prey, and environment in which they met; 2) grouping and vigilance were complementary responses; 3) grouping was a proactive response to the use of dangerous habitats, whereas vigilance was a…”
The paradox of risk allocation: a review and prospectus (2009, unknown): “ Sih & McCarthy (2002) tested the risk allocation model by exposing freshwater snails (Physa gyrina) to a pulse (2 h) of either high-risk or low-risk predation, given a background level (22 h) at the other risk level.”
Effect of artificial night lighting on temporally partitioned spiny mice (2011, background): “…0.001 Manipulated hours 2, 26 6.99 0.004 Hour following the manipulat- ed hours 2, 26 15.43 , 0.001 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/92/1/159/940227 by guest on 28 July 2018 in some other prey species (Abramsky et al. 1996; Daly et al. 1992; Sih and McCarthy 2002).”
What best explains vigilance in elk: characteristics of prey, predators, or the environment? (2008, background): “It is likely that prey assess risk as a continuous variable, rather than dichotomizing risk into periods of safety and danger, as is assumed by some models (Lima and Bednekoff 1999), experiments (Sih and McCarthy 2002), and observational studies (Creel and Winnie 2005).”
