In many species, establishing and maintaining a territory is critical to survival and reproduction, and an animalâs ability to do so is strongly influenced by the presence and density of competitors
Autotomy, or the voluntary shedding of body parts, is an extreme antipredator behaviour used by species in more than 100 animal families. Despite the long-standing observation that the propensity for
Pedators can indirectly affect prey survival and reproduction by evoking costly anti-predator responses. Such non-consumptive effects may be as strong or stronger than consumptive predator effects. Ho
