We conclude that antipredatory responses may vary according to predator characteristics not obviously related to their morphology and foraging behavior, such as predator activity level and habitat use.Ībozaid A, Tsang B, Gerlai R (2020) The effects of small but abrupt change in temperature on the behavior of larval zebrafish. lacustris had a consistent response to the presence of predators with no adjustment for predator species. 2 by reducing its mobility and keeping as far as possible from the predator location in a vigilant state, while shoal formation was employed regardless of predator species. sanctaefilomenae responded to the addition of Hoplias sp. We video recorded and evaluated prey refuge use, habitat segregation, shoal formation, and mobility in microcosms before and after the addition of each predator. 2 and Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus) with similar morphology and foraging strategy (ambushing) to test whether prey ( Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae and Astyanax lacustris) behavioral responses were related to predator species identity. Here, we used two phylogenetically close piscivorous fish species ( Hoplias sp. Little is known whether antipredatory behaviors adopted by prey fish species are predator-specific or a general strategy employed regardless of predator species. As such behaviors may also imply fitness costs, the ability of prey to perceive and appropriately respond to the predation threat is crucial to determine the persistence of its populations.


Prey fish species can respond to the presence of predators using a variety of antipredatory behaviors to reduce their risk of being consumed.
