Ontogeny of risk assessment and escape-hatching performance by red-eyed treefrog embryos in two threat contexts
B. A. Güell, J. Jung, A. Almanzar, J. Cuccaro-Diaz, K. M. Warkentin
This study examines how red-eyed treefrog embryos develop risk assessment and hatching performance in response to flooding and mechanical cues, finding that development reduces risk assessment and improves hatching performance, with mechanical cues eliciting faster responses.
