Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany animals flee from their predators before capture. However, some species can successfully escape even after being swallowed. The likelihood of postcapture escape may be influenced by predator species and size, although this hypothesis has rarely been
