“…Nevertheless, this result would be in accordance with other studies that discovered no effect of predator cues on feeding behaviour [12, 13]. As we suggested previously, traps could have been perceived as a refuge against predators, allowing them to feed in a secure environment [8, 37]. Another plausible explanation would be that due to individuals remaining several hours under the influence of predation cues, they must resume their feeding activity in order to not compromise their survival [43, 46].…”

“…Predator scents have been previously demonstrated to modify food intake [8, 11]; however, the direction of this association is not clear since there is evidence of both an increase and a decrease in the food intake. In our study, we hypothesise that traps could have provided the mice with a safe space to handle the food resources [8, 37]. As a consequence, these mice may have chosen to feed because they were sheltered against predator attacks.…”

“…Predator scents have been previously demonstrated to modify food intake [16, 17, 19, 62], however, the direction of this association is not clear since there is evidence of both a rise and a decrease in the food intake. In our study, we hypothesise that traps could have provided mice a safe space to handle the food resources [16, 63], as a consequence, mice might have chosen to feed because they were sheltered against predator attacks. Alternatively, predation risk could have trigger physiological stress response in mice [28] and the immediate mobilization of energy could have stimulated mice to bite the food containers.…”
