Eavesdropping on other species: mutual interspecific understanding of urgency information in avian alarm calls (2010, background): “Furthermore, whereas scrubwrens are brown, male fairy-wrens have conspicuous blue breeding plumage, and plumage brightness can increase predation risk among bird species consumed by sparrowhawks (Huhta et al. 2003).”
Risk taking by singing males (2008, background): “…argument can also be extended to the interspecific level because individuals of species with exaggerated secondary sexual characters will run disproportionately large risks of predation as shown by comparative analyses of prey eaten by avian predators (Huhta et al. 2003; Møller and Nielsen 2006).”
Predation cost of conspicuous male coloration in collared lizards (Crotaphytus collaris) : An experimental test using clay-covered model lizards (2006, background): “Detailed descriptions of WM and GM can be found in Baird et al. (1997) and Macedonia et al. (2004), and a detailed description of SL is available in Husak & Fox (2003).”
Plumage color and reproduction in the red-backed fairy-wren: Why be a dull breeder? (2008, background): “…enhance male survival, for example, through reduced social costs (Conover et al. 2000; Berggren et al. 2004) and/or reduced risk of predation (Götmark and Hohlfält 1995; Huhta et al. 2003), or it may enhance some components of male reproductive success (Greene et al. 2000; Delhey et al. 2007).”
Agamas exhibit behavioral syndromes: bolder males bask and feed more but may suffer higher predation (2010, background): “Individuals that signal to potential mates using olfactory, visual, or aural cues often have to trade-off the benefit of attracting a mate with the cost of attracting predators, making signaling a risk-taking behavior (Magnhagen 1991; Johnstone 1997; Mougeot and Bretagnolle 2000; Huhta et al. 2003; ”
