Different factors that modify anti-predator behaviour in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
Animals optimize the trade-off between the cost of not fleeing and the benefits of staying because the factors that influence flight decisions and the disturbance level of a particular stimulus can vary both spatially and temporally. Different factors (human impact and habitat characteristics) likely to modify anti-predator behaviour in different types

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals
Ecogeographical rules for animal coloration include Gloger's rule, which states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, 19th‐century naturalists observed that animals are more colourful in the tropics. We investigated these ideas across the head, torso, legs and tail regions of 2726 species of terrestrial mammals using phylogenetic ...
