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.
