Not exact matches

Stankowich et al. used natural history data, including range overlap with potential predators, body size, and activity patterns, in conjunction with comparative phylogenetic analyses on 181 species of mammals to identify patterns of predation risk that could have contributed to the evolution of these two defensive strategies.

On landscapes with both open and closed habitat structure, they may use a combined strategy of hiding in forest cover to lower predator encounter rates and seeking open terrain, such as grasslands, where predation risk may be reduced.

The intense predation pressure, which could be as high as 80 per cent among birds in habitats where the mourner lives seems to have driven the evolution of complex anti-predatory strategies in the species.
