Ecology Of Fear

Predators feed on a variety of prey and this has important consequences for both predator and prey. This chapter introduces optimal foraging theory as a way to understand why predators prefer some prey types over others and discusses the evidence for adaptive diet choice in nature. Simple optimality models are used to understand how predators make decisions about where to feed (habitat choice) and how long to stay in a prey patch (“giving-up-time”). The non-lethal or non-consumptive effects of predators can be as important as their direct lethal effects. Discussed are examples of how prey respond to the threat of predation (the “ecology of fear”) by changing their behaviors, morphologies, physiologies, and life histories. The chapter concludes with an examination of the relative importance of predator consumptive and non-consumptive effects.
