Flexible information sampling in vibrational assessment of predation risk by red-eyed treefrog embryos

Warkentin, Karen M.; Caldwell, Michael S.; Siok, Timothy D.; D'Amato, Alison T.; McDaniel, J. Gregory (2007)

Prey assessing risk may miss cues and fail to defend themselves, or respond unnecessarily to false alarms. Error rates can be ameliorated with more information, but sampling predator cues entails risk. Red-eyed treefrogs ...
Is it safe? Red-eyed treefrog embryos assessing predation risk use two features of rain vibrations to avoid false alarms

Caldwell, Michael S.; McDaniel, J. Gregory; Warkentin, Karen M. (2010)

Prey use predator cues to inform defensive decisions. Detecting these cues is often complicated by benign stimuli that resemble and can be mistaken for predators, leading prey to display costly defences incorrectly. One ...
