Altering perceived predation risk and food availability: management prescriptions to benefit farmland birds on stubble fields (2006, background): “Sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus L. are the main predators of adult farmland birds (Gotmark & Post 1996) and they hunt more successfully when they can launch attacks closer to their prey ( Quinn & Cresswell 2004 ), which is likely to be affected by vegetation structure.”
Female mate choice based upon male motor performance (2010, background): “It is also well known that predators efficiently identify weak, injured or sick prey (Mills, 1990; Quinn and Cresswell, 2004; Martin et al., 2006; Wright et al., 2006).”
Predator detection and avoidance by starlings under differing scenarios of predation risk (2006, background): “Individuals that are spaced further apart may be under greater predation risk because they can be targeted by predators more easily (Quinn and Cresswell, 2004), and they have more difficulty spotting conspecifics reacting to predators (Hilton et al., 1999).”
Optimal individual positions within animal groups (2008, background): “Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) attacks on redshank (Tringa totanus) depend on several behavioral factors related to the vulnerability of the prey (Quinn and Cresswell 2004) rather than solely on position within the group.”
Stubble height affects the use of stubble fields by farmland birds (2005, background): “Quinn & Cresswell (2004) showed that sparrowhawks hunt according to the vulnerability of their prey, which is likely to be affected by vegetation structure, while studies of kestrels Falco tinnunculus L. have shown that foraging activity and hunting success are higher over less densely vegetated ha”
Living in a landscape of fear: the impact of predation, resource availability and habitat structure on primate range use (2014, unknown): “Understanding howanimals manage the risk of predation is thus a central issue in behavioural ecology (Quinn & Cresswell, 2004).”
Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “Theoretically then, measurements of prey vulnerability should measure predation risk and there is some empirical evidence to support this (Biro et al., 2003c; Quinn and Cresswell, 2004; Sinclair and Arcese, 1995).”
Feeding behaviour and bone utilization by theropod dinosaurs (2009, background): “Finally, learned anti-predator responses are common in vertebrates after predatory encounters (Fuiman 1993; Kelley & Magurran 2003; Quinn & Cresswell 2004), which highlights the vulnerability of juveniles which are naive with respect to predators.”
Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, background): “Predation danger for western sandpipers also differs spatially, as the hunting success of predators varies between different stopover sites, and in different foraging patches within sites (Dekker and Ydenberg 2004, Quinn and Cresswell 2004 ).”
