Moving to suburbia: ontogenetic and evolutionary consequences of life on predator‐free islands (2002, methodology): “Because certain types of predators are convergent in their morphology, it may be relatively efficient to retain an ability to respond to those visual features (Blumstein et al., 2000).”
Predation and the evolution of prey behavior: an experiment with tree hole mosquitoes (2002, background): “Facultative changes in behavior are often taken as evidence for evolution of prey behavior in response to selection by predation (Blumstein et al., 2000; Gilliam and Fraser, 1987; Main, 1987; Sih, 1980, 1987; Stein and Magnuson, 1976; Watkins, 1996) because behavior patterns induced by the presence ”
Rodent foraging is affected by indirect, but not by direct, cues of predation risk (2004, background): “In conclusion, our work suggests that indirect cues may be more useful than are direct cues for rodents that are consumed by a variety of predators, probably because indirect cues provide reliable, easily assessed information regarding the risk from multiple predator types ( Blumstein et al., 2000 )”
Learning specificity in acquired predator recognition (2001, methodology): “In addition, these individuals are more likely to thump their hind feet in alarm in response to a fox than to other vertebrate models (Blumstein et al. 2000).”
Olfactory predator recognition: wallabies may have to learn to be wary (2002, background): “…(marsupial lions/tigers) and dasyurids (quolls, tiger cats and devils); (Archer, 1981; Robertshaw & Harden, 1989) – they have not been exposed to mammalian predators since ice age sea level changes isolated the island from the mainland 9500 years ago (Lampert, 1979; Blumstein et al., 2000).”
