Body size and group size of Cuban tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) tadpoles influence their escape behaviour

Tadpoles risk attack from both aquatic and aerial predators. We investigated how body size and group size influenced the behaviour of tadpoles before and during a predatory attack from above to test the predictions of the theoretical economic escape model. We examined escape (swimming) response of s...
