Escaping From Predators: An Integrative View of Escape Decisions: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Escaping From Predators: An Integrative View of Escape Decisions" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

When a predator attacks, prey are faced with a series of if, when and how escape decisions - these critical questions are the foci of this book. Cooper and Blumstein bring together a balance of theory and empirical research to summarise over fifty years of scattered research and benchmark current thinking in the rapidly expanding literature on the behavioural ecology of escaping. The book consolidates current and new behaviour models with taxonomically divided empirical chapters that demonstrate the application of escape theory to different groups. The chapters integrate behaviour with physiology, genetics and evolution to lead the reader through the complex decisions faced by prey during a predator attack, examining how these decisions interact with life history and individual variation. The chapter on best practice field methodology and the ideas for future research presented throughout, ensure this volume is practical as well as informative.

Escaping From Predators

An Integrative View of Escape Decisions

When a predator attacks, prey are faced with a series of if, when, and how escape decisions these critical questions are the foci of this book.

Cooper and Blumstein bring together a balance of theory and empirical research to summarize over 50 years of scattered research and benchmark current thinking in the rapidly expanding literature on the behavioral ecology of escaping. The book consolidates current and new behavior models with taxonomically divided empirical chapters that demonstrate the application of escape theory to different groups. The chapters integrate behavior with physiology, genetics, and evolution to lead the reader through the complex decisions faced by prey during a predator attack, examining how these decisions interact with life history and individual variation. The chapter on best practice field methodology and the ideas for future research presented throughout ensure this volume is practical as well as informative.
