Automated escape system: identifying prey's kinematic and behavioral features critical for predator evasion

This study develops an automated escape system to identify prey kinematic and behavioral features critical for predator evasion, showing that escape speed and reaction distance significantly affect predator-prey interactions.

Idea Paper: Effects of gonad type and body mass on the time required for sex change in fishes

This paper investigates how gonad type and body mass influence the time required for sex change in fishes, finding support for hypotheses but noting limitations due to multicollinearity.

Escaping from multiple visual threats: Modulation of escape responses in Pacific staghorn sculpin (Leptocottus armatus).

This study investigates how Pacific staghorn sculpin modulate escape responses to multiple visual threats by varying stimulus timing, finding that modulation occurs only before the response starts.

Escaping through the predator's gill cleft: A defensive tactic of juvenile eels after capture by predatory fish

The paper describes how juvenile Japanese eels escape predators by exiting through the predator's gill cleft, with most survivors observed.

Geometric model incorporating prey's turn and predator attack endpoint explains multiple preferred escape trajectories

The paper constructs a geometric model that explains multiple preferred escape trajectories in prey by incorporating prey turning time and predator attack endpoint.

Effects of dead conspecifics, hunger states, and seasons on the foraging behavior of the purple urchin Heliocidaris crassispina

This study examines how predation cues, hunger states, and seasons affect foraging behavior in purple urchins, finding that starvation reduces predator avoidance and seasonal changes influence activity levels.

A miniaturized threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger for recording burst movements of aquatic animals

This paper introduces a threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger to selectively record burst movements of aquatic animals, demonstrating its effectiveness in both lab and field settings.

Effect Of Initial Body Orientation On Escape Probability In Prey Fish Escaping From Predators

The paper tests how initial body orientation affects escape probability in prey fish, finding that greater orientation away from predators increases escape success.
