Summary 1. Inducible defences may be temporary and favoured where predation is intermittent and have been demonstrated in several invertebrates and vertebrates when prey detect chemical cues (kairomones) released by predators. Daphnia pulex (a water

The antipredator responses of adult and larval fathead minnows Pimephales promelas to chemical alarm cues prepared throughout ontogeny were tested using various behavioural assays. Larval epidermis was also examined during ontogeny using standard hae

Parental care is an energetically demanding activity that ensures genes are efficiently passed from one generation to the next. According to evolutionary theory, the greatest energetic investment should be directed towards offspring that are most clo

Chemosensation is one of the oldest and most important sensory modalities utilized by aquatic animals to provide information about the location of predators, location of prey, sexual status of potential mates, genetic relatedness of kin, and migrator

Temporal variation in predation risk may fundamentally influence anti-predator responses of prey animals. To maximize lifetime fitness, prey must be able to optimize energy gain and minimize predation risk, and responses to current levels of risk may

Predation is one of the most important selective forces acting on prey animals. To respond adaptively to predation threats and increase their chances of survival, prey animals have to be able to recognize their potential predators. Even though a few

The ability to accurately assess local predation risk is crucial, as it allows prey individuals to maximize trade-offs between predator avoidance and foraging behaviour. Here, we test the hypothesis that juvenile convict cichlids, Archocentrus nigrof

We examined the influence of temporal variation in predation risk on the foraging and antipredator behaviour of juvenile convict cichlids (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus). We exposed fish to one of four treatment regimes: 100% or 20% concentrations of c

Responses of wild fish populations to alarm chemicals were examined in clean and metal-contaminated lakes in northern Ontario. Approximately 20 groups of three minnow traps were placed randomly in the littoral zone of each study lake. Within each min
