Abstract:Changes in environmental conditions impact predator-prey interactions by altering behaviour through sensory and non-sensory pathways. Elevated water temperature and turbidity are known to alter activity levels and anti-predator responses in prey fish, and are increasing globally as a result of anthropogenic activities. Less is known about how temperature and turbidity impact predators' ability to detect prey directly, or indirectly via changes to prey behaviour. We quantified the detectability of Trinidadian g… Show more
