Learning to distinguish between predators and non-predators: understanding the critical role of diet cues and predator odours in generalisation
It is critical for prey to recognise predators and distinguish predators from non-threatening species. Yet, we have little understanding of how prey develop effective predator recognition templates. Recent studies suggest that prey may actually learn key predator features which can be used to recogn...
