A community-level evaluation of the impact of prey behavioural and ecological characteristics on predator diet composition
Although predation avoidance is the most commonly invoked explanation for vertebrate social evolution, there is little evidence that individuals in larger groups experience lower predation rates than those in small groups. We compare the morphological and behavioural traits of mammal prey species in...
