“…Previous studies showed that predation typically results in reduced activity across most taxa (Åbjörnsson et al, 1997;Ahlgren et al, 2011;Gall and Brodie, 2009;Huryn and Chivers, 1999;Kasumyan, 2022;Schäffer et al, 2013;Williams and Moore, 1982;Wisenden et al, 1997), although some, particularly Baetidae, also exhibited increased drift and movement (Culp et al, 1991;Lancaster, 1990;Poff et al, 1991). Similarly, studies found microcrustaceans either decreasing their activity (Bjaerke et al, 2016;Heuschele et al, 2020) or seeking refuge through vertical and horizontal migration (Jack et al, 2006;Lauridsen and Lodge, 1996;Pasternak et al, 2006;Zaret and Suffern, 1976). However, many of these studies focused on only a few select taxa with limited numbers of individuals, potentially obscuring density and biotic interaction effects (Peacor and Werner, 1997;Tollrian et al, 2015).…”
