Multiple inducible defences against multiple predators in the anuran tadpole, Rana pirica (2005, background): “…plastic phenotypes in various taxonomic groups (Dodson, 1989; DeWitt, 1998; Relyea, 2001; Van Buskirk, 2001; Laurila et al., 2002), few researchers have studied whether specific phenotypes provide higher survival rates in the corresponding predator environments (but see DeWitt et al., 2000).”
Plasticity constrained: over-generalized induction cues cause maladaptive phenotypes (2002, methodology): “2 in DeWitt et al., 2000).”
Winning the biodiversity arms race among freshwater gastropods: competition and coexistence through shell variability and predator avoidance (2010, background): “…(Corr et al., 1984; Alexander & Covich, 1991a, b; Dalesman et al., 2007, 2009a, b; Wojdak, 2009), life history (Crowl, 1990; Crowl & Covich, 1990; Crowl & Schnell, 1990), and shell morphology (Vermeij & Covich, 1978; DeWitt, 1998, DeWitt et al., 1999, 2000, Krist, 2002, Johnson et al., 2007).”
Effects of ocean acidification and elevated temperature on shell plasticity and its energetic basis in an intertidal gastropod (2013, background): “A globular shell shape in the freshwater snail Physa spp. has more resistance to crushing predators, such as crayfish, than an elongated shape (DeWitt et al. 2000), and species of marine intertidal gastropods possessing shells with a larger aspect ratio (i.e. with a more elongated shape) have also…”
Specific induced responses to different predator species in anuran larvae (2001, background): “for example, possesses an elongated shell when it occurs with a crayfish predator, but a more rotund shell when it occurs with sunfish, and both responses improve resistance to attacks from the predator species that induce them (DeWitt, 1998; DeWitt et al., 2000 ).”
Morphological and behavioral defenses in dragonfly larvae: trait compensation and cospecialization (2004, background): “…produce and maintain morphological defense (Lively, 1986; Pettersson and Brönmark, 1997), and that antipredator behavior has a cost in terms reducing the time available for gathering food (Lima, 1998), or that there is a trade-off between morphological and behavioral defense (DeWitt et al., 2000).”
Learning, memory and predator avoidance by freshwater snails: effects of experience on predator recognition and defensive strategy (2006, background): “If individuals differ in their propensity to crawl out of the water (e.g. DeWitt et al. 2000), then when raised with crayfish, the ‘crawlout’ specialists will suffer higher mortality during the acclimation phase, and the population on average will show less of a propensity to crawl out of the water…”
Multiple prey traits, multiple predators: keys to understanding complex community dynamics (2003, methodology): “Freshwater snails face a variety of functionally diverse predators (Snyder, 1967; Tripet and Perrin, 1994; Reed and Janzen, 1999; DeWitt et al., 2000; Trussell and Smith, 2000).”
Predator‐specific changes in the morphology and swimming performance of larval Rana lessonae (2005, background): “including gastropods (DeWitt et al. 2000), protozoans (Kuhlmann & Heckmann 1994; Kusch 1995) and”
Natural selection and the evolution of replicated trophic polymorphisms in pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) (2004, background): “…related to components of fitness, such as growth and condition factor in the pelagic but not in the littoral lake environment (Robinson et al., 1996; Jastrebski, 2001), and is also related to foraging performance on pelagic zooplankton but not benthic type prey (DeWitt et al., 2000; Parsons, 2002).”
