Predator exposure improves anti‐predator responses in a threatened mammal (2018, background): “Exposure to novel predators may also help prey tolerate future incursions of other predator species, because exposure to one predator may be enough to retain or stimulate appropriate responses towards other predator species (Blumstein, 2006).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in an island songbird exposed to a novel predation risk (2008, unknown): “Thus, although jays are absent, the presence of ravens may be sufficient to maintain the ability to recognize avian predators under the ‘‘multipredator’’ hypothesis (Blumstein 2006).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “Indeed, if prey use generalized cues to assess risk and if they have evolved with any predators, they appear to be pre-adapted to recognize a broad range of exotic predators (Blumstein 2006).”
Multisensory perception in uncertain environments (2012, unknown): “…the system of costs and benefits, is wonderfully amenable to experimental manipulation (e.g., Lendrem 1983; Brown 1988; Holbrook and Schmitt 1988), and it is possible to study populations with different histories of exposure to predators (Blumstein 2006; Ferrari et al. 2007; Lahti et al. 2009).”
Exploring Ultimate Hypotheses to Predict Diel Vertical Migrations in Coregonid Fish (2007, background): “where Sv and TS are mean volume backscattering strength and target strength (in dB), respectively; N is the total number of fish; K is the number of size classes (here 30); k indicates the kth size class; and nk the number of fish in size class k (Bodholt (1990), cited in Balk and Lindem (2005)).”
Learning about Danger: Chemical Alarm Cues and Threat‐Sensitive Assessment of Predation Risk by Fishes (2011, background): “In either case, being able to respond to predators upon a first encounter should eliminate the cost of learning (Blumstein 2006; Ferrari et al. 2007).”
The development of alarm-call behaviour in mammals and birds (2009, background): “Young animals may therefore be born with the capacity to respond appropriately to alarm calls because evolutionary processes have fixed these traits in their behavioural repertoire (Blumstein 2006).”
