Context-Dependent Anti-Predator Behavior in Nymphs of the Invasive Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula): Effects of Development, Microhabitat, and Social Environment

Insects
Antipredator behaviors in animals often vary with developmental stage, microhabitat, and social context, yet few studies examine how these factors interact in species that undergo ontogenetic shifts in chemical defense.

Function of Vivid Coloration of Terrestrial Isopods from the Point of View of an Avian Predator

Insects
The ability of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) to protect themselves effectively from predation by birds has never been tested. They are equipped with glands producing chemical substances; moreover, some species show conspicuous ...

Deimatism : a neglected component of antipredator defence

, 2017
Deimatic or 'startle' displays cause a receiver to recoil reflexively in response to a sudden change in sensory input. Deimatism is sometimes implicitly treated as a form of aposematism (unprofitability associated with a signal). However, the fundamental

The effect of aposematism and food calls on the feeding behaviour of domestic chicks [PDF]

, 2010
Aposematism is a defence system used by toxic animals where the animals use warning colouration, often combined with warning gestures, to fend off predators.

The role of habitat heterogeneity on signal evolution in predator–prey interactions, with implications for the evolution of crypsis and aposematism

, 2015
Little is known about mechanisms promoting the diversity of antipredation strategies found in nature. In this study I explore how habitat heterogeneity may have profound effects on predator–prey communication.
