Learning to distinguish between predators and non-predators: understanding the critical role of diet cues and predator odours in generalisation

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Matthew D. Mitchell from the DepartmentUniversity of have published the Article: Learning to distinguish between predators and non-predators: understanding the critical role of diet cues and predator odours in generalisation, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The results from this study demonstrate that diet cues, lacking a known alarm cue component, play a previously unrecognised role in predator recognition.
• how: The study however reveals that the inclusion of different diet cues among closely related species resulted in generalised recognition only to those species that were on the same diet . . .
