Predator-Prey
Escape behavior, camouflage, aposematism, and mimicry are common antipredatory adaptations in animals. We study how predators (birds) affect the evolution of these adaptations in prey, and also how prey affects the evolution of predatory behaviors, cognition, sensory properties, and morphology. We also look at how prey informs each other about predators using alarm calls. Some research also addresses a similar system of parasite-host ecology and evolution.
