Anti-predator adaptations are mechanisms developed through evolution that assist prey organisms in their constant struggle against predators. Throughout...

other predators are present. In addition to behavioral adaptations, there are also morphological anti-predator adaptations to pursuit predators. For example...

Predator satiation (less commonly called predator saturation) is an anti-predator adaptation in which prey briefly occur at high population densities,...

a selective advantage as predators avoid the model and therefore also the mimic. Mimicry is thus an anti-predator adaptation. A common example seen in...

has a powerful selective effect on prey, and the prey develops anti-predator adaptations such as warning colouration, alarm calls and other signals, camouflage...

Mobbing in animals is an anti-predator adaptation in which individuals of prey species cooperatively attack or harass a predator, usually to protect their...

whereas anti-predator camouflage colour changes have decreased relative to the native source population in Kenya where there are more predators. Chameleons...

practise autotomy, self-amputating the tail, presumably as an anti-predator adaptation. All captured R. russellii over 1.5 m long have autotomized tails;...

Orussoidea are parasitic. Predators include birds, insects and small animals. The larvae of some species have anti-predator adaptations such as regurgitating...

glands that contain a powerful nerve poison, tetrodotoxin, as an anti-predator adaptation. Throughout much of the newt's range, the common garter snake is...

Beetles use a variety of anti-predator adaptations to defend themselves. These include camouflage and mimicry against predators that hunt by sight, toxicity...

Their hard shells are assumed by zoologists to have evolved as an anti-predator adaptation. One group of stalked barnacles has adapted to a rafting lifestyle...
