Generalization of predator recognition: Velvet geckos display anti-predator behaviours in response to chemicals from non-dangerous elapid snakes

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2010
Many prey species detect chemical cues from predators and modify their behaviours in ways that reduce their risk of predation. Theory predicts that prey should modify their anti-predator responses according to the degree of threat posed by the predator ...

Snake body size frequency distributions are robust to the description of novel species

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
The accurate interpretation of body size frequency distributions (BSFDs) has important implications for understanding large‐scale ecological and evolutionary patterns because they are shaped by ecological and evolutionary processes.
