Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2018
The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or more

Prey aggregation is an effective olfactory predator avoidance strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Predator–prey interactions have a major effect on species abundance and diversity, and aggregation is a well-known anti-predator behaviour. For immobile prey, the effectiveness of aggregation depends on two conditions: (a) the inability of the predator ...
