- A miniaturized threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger for recording burst movements of aquatic animals
Summary: Development of a high-frequency acceleration data-logger that can selectively measure animal burst movements, as verified in controlled and in situ conditions with two fish species.
- The predator and prey behaviors of crabs: from ecology to neural adaptations
Summary: We discuss a microcircuit of crab giant neurons, identified based on combined field and laboratory studies, which are involved in controlling naturally occurring prey and predator behaviors.
- Three-dimensional motion tracking reveals a diving component to visual and auditory escape swims in zebrafish larvae
Summary: Vertical directionality of zebrafish escape swims highlights the importance of ecological validity in motor control research.
- Flight mechanics and control of escape manoeuvres in hummingbirds. I. Flight kinematics
Summary: A detailed examination of the body and wing kinematics of four hummingbird species in fast escape manoeuvres shows that they change wing trajectory significantly, and escape manoeuvres do not obey the ‘helicopter model’.
- Predation risk modifies behaviour by shaping the response of identified brain neurons
Highlighted Article: Crabs from an isolated population under high risk of predation show stronger neuronal and behavioural responses to visual threats than those from a population at low risk of predation.
