Prey often use multiple defences for warding off predator threats. But the factors that influence their optimal deployment are poorly understood. In the springbok mantis, we show that females utilise their defences strategically to match the level of the threat by fleeing in early phases of the predation sequence and standing their ground with startle ...

Rapid selection for increased dispersal rates by the endangered butterfly Phengaris (Maculinea) arion across restored landscapes

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
After reintroduction to the UK, the endangered butterfly Phengaris arion has naturally colonised >40 sites where its habitat has been restored. We studied seven factors that might be influencing dispersal. Isolation of sites was the most important constraint on the colonisation of new habitats, followed by the number, but not the density, of P.
