Reversible morphological changes in a juvenile marine fish after exposure to predatory alarm cues

Reversible morphological changes in a juvenile marine fish after exposure to predatory alarm cues

Chemical cues from predators induce a range of predator-induced morphological defences (PIMDs) observed across fish taxa. However, the mechanisms, consistency, direction and adaptive value of PIMDs are still poorly studied. Here, we have tested if predatory cues can induce changes in the body shape...
