Effective anti-predator defence mechanisms depend on efficient recognition of possible predators. However, nocturnal aerial predators, such as owls, present very few stimuli to enable their detection by potential prey. The most prominent of these are

In mixed-sex rat groups maintained in visible burrow systems (VBS), consistent asymmetries in offensive and defensive behaviors of male dyads are associated with the development of dominance hierarchies. Subordinate males are characterized by particu

Swiss-Webster mice living in a visible burrow system (VBS) reacted to presentation of a live cat in the surface area of the VBS by retreat to the burrows and reductions in nondefensive behaviors such as eating and drinking. Live eat-exposed subjects

In a Fear/Defense Test Battery, measuring defensive reactions to a present, approaching and contacting predator, the highest dose of morphine tested (7.5 mg/kg) reliably reduced vocalization to dorsal contact, to vibrissae stimulation, and to an anes

Two tests, components of an Anxiety/Defense Test Battery, have been designed to measure risk assessment, inhibition of nondefensive behaviors, and movement arrest, all of which occur in the natural defense patterns of rats to threatening stimuli. In

In a straight alley containing a cat odor stimulus rats show high rates of risk assessment, including flat back approach and stretch attend behaviors oriented toward the threat stimulus and contact with the stimulus. In this situation, diazepam (2.0

Exploration models of anxiety rely almost universally on the use of laboratory species. Furthermore, the spontaneous patterns of locomotion displayed are often interpreted as being an expression of antipredator defense. However, there is no direct li

The current article addresses several issues within the context of issues within the context of modeling human anxiety disorders in the laboratory. First, evidence is presented to support the suggestion that behavior in exploration models of anxiety

Mixed-sex groups of laboratory rats living in a visible burrow system (VBS) emit 18-27 kHz ultrasound and retreat to the burrow when a cat is placed in the open area of the VBS. The total duration of ultrasonic vocalizations was reliably reduced by p

When a cat was presented to groups of 3 male and 2 female laboratory rats in the open area of a visible burrow system, the rats retreated to the burrow system and showed high levels of 18-24 kHz ultrasonic cries during the cat presentation and for 30
