Escaping From Predators -

. .

Résumé :
Recent advances and decades of scattered research are brought together to provide a valuable behavioural ecology reference and practical handbook for the study of if, when and how prey flee from predators. Integrating biology, behaviour and evolution, this book provides a much-needed benchmark and summary of escape ecology literature.
