• Can we predict ectotherm responses to climate change using thermal performance curves and body temperatures? (2016, background): “…non-consumptive effects (‘fear of being eaten’) can reduce foraging success and efficiency, or elicit other physiological costs (Rovero et al. 1999; Nelson et al. 2004); and parasites and pathogens can induce direct physiological costs (Vernberg & Vernberg 1963) that might modify the TPC.…”
• Relationships between direct predation and risk effects. (2008, background): “The costs of these responses can be manifest by reduced survival, growth or reproduction [1,18–20] (Figure 2). Recent empirical research has shown that risk effects on prey dynamics can be as large as direct effects, or even larger [15,18, 21 ,22].”
• Ontogenetic habitat shift and risk of cannibalism in the common chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon) (2006, background): “Recently, the importance of the risk of predation per se has been recognized as a modifier of the behavior of prey animals, and both the removal of prey and behavioral effects may operate (Lima 1998; Brown et al. 2001; Nelson et al. 2004).”
• Orius insidiosus (Say) as a predator of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (2005, background): “Nelson et al., (2004) showed that damsel bugs (Nabis spp.) that were rendered unable to kill pea aphids (by amputation of the last segment of their stylets), reduced aphid fertility by forcing aphids to devote time and energy to defensive behaviors rather than to feeding and reproduction.”
• Damage to sagebrush attracts predators but this does not reduce herbivory (2007, background): “At each census, several aphids dropped from the inflorescences and care was taken to minimize this loss (Nelson et al., 2004).”
