The effect of fish and aquatic habitat complexity on amphibians (2007, unknown): “Experimental studies show that the larvae of H. arborea, R. temporaria, R. dalmatina, R. esculenta complex and newts from the genus Triturus display morphological and behavioural responses in the presence of predators (Semlitsch & Reyer, 1992; Stauffer & Semlitsch, 1993; Laurila ¨ , 2000; Van Buski”
Habitat partitioning in European and North American pond‐breeding frogs and toads (2003, background): “The predator composition of ponds intermediate on the gradient varies more strongly among years than that in ephemeral or permanent ponds, because predators accumulate during wet periods and are largely eliminated by drying events (Harris et al., 1988; Jefferies, 1994; Schneider, 1997; Van Buskirk &”
Functional mechanisms of an inducible defence in tadpoles: morphology and behaviour influence mortality risk from predation (2000, background): “A second line of evidence supporting the expectation that tail depth is positively related to swimming comes from selection studies, which ®nd that amphibian larvae with relatively deep tail ®ns are effective at escaping predators (Van Buskirk et al., 1997; Van Buskirk & Schmidt, 2000).”
Critical Literature Review of the Evidence for Unpalatability of Amphibian Eggs and Larvae (2005, background): “Many growth patterns and morphological features are phenotypically plastic in response to perceived predation risk; this plasticity reduces cumulative losses to particular predator species (Van Buskirk and McCollum, 1999; Van Buskirk and Schmidt, 2000; Relyea, 2001).”
Plasticity in pigmentation induced by conflicting threats from predation and UV radiation (2004, background): “…the ability of a genotype to produce more than one alternative form of morphology or behavior in response to environmental conditions (West-Eberhard 1989), may strongly influence species interactions by changing individual growth rates and vulnerability to predation (van Buskirk and Schmidt 2000).”
The Lure Effect, Tadpole Tail Shape, and the Target of Dragonfly Strikes (2003, background): “Second, tadpoles showing the predator-induced morphology do not swim faster than those with typical morphology (Van Buskirk and McCollum, 2000a), and experimental reduction of tail size affects swimming performance only after large fractions of the tail have been removed (Hoff and Wassersug, 2000;…”
