Description

Animals must continually balance foraging with the risk of predation. In complex natural environments, this means quickly distinguishing between threats and harmless situations. We investigated how site-associated coral reef fishes escape in response to visual cues mimicking predator attacks, using controlled underwater presentations of looming stimuli at varying speeds.
