The environment is profoundly important in shaping many aspects of animal phenotype, including courtship and mating behaviours. Courtship displays rely upon the transmission of visual information from the signaller to the receiver, which means they a...

The effect of prey density on predators: Conspicuousness and attack success are sensitive to spatial scale (2009)
Journal Article
Ioannou, C. C., Morrell, L. J., Ruxton, G. D., & Krause, J. (2009). The effect of prey density on predators: Conspicuousness and attack success are sensitive to spatial scale. The American naturalist, 173(4), 499-506. https://doi.org/10.1086/597219

In contrast to the numerous studies that have examined the response of predators to prey group size, little is known about how prey density affects prey detection and the accuracy of attacks. We demonstrate that increasing the density of Daphnia magn... Read More about The effect of prey density on predators: Conspicuousness and attack success are sensitive to spatial scale.
