Decomposing alarm-calling behaviour to investigate context-dependent threat discrimination and response escalation in a social mongoose
Prey can adjust their behaviour to perceived predation risk, which may induce non-consumptive fitness effects. However, quantifying perceived risk in field studies remains challenging as anti-predator behaviours often integrate multiple processes such as encounter probability and detection capacity. Partitioning prey responses into sub-processes may therefore provide novel insights on predation…
