Biro Peter; Abrahams Mark; Post John; Parkinson Eric (Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2005)
Direct manipulation of behaviour reveals a mechanism for variation in growth and mortality among prey populations

Biro Peter; Abrahams Mark; Post John (Elsevier, 2002)
Ontogeny of energy allocation reveals selective pressure promoting risk-taking behaviour in young fish cohorts

Biro Peter; Post John; Abrahams Mark (Royal Society, 2005)

Given limited food, prey fishes in a temperate climate must take risks to acquire sufficient reserves for winter and/or to outgrow vulnerability to predation. However, how can we distinguish which selective pressure promotes ...
Predators select against high growth rates and risk-taking behaviour in domestic trout populations

Biro Peter; Abrahams Mark; Post John; Parkinson Eric (Royal Soc London, 2004)

Domesticated (farm) salmonid fishes display an increased willingness to accept risk while foraging, and achieve high growth rates not observed in nature. Theory predicts that elevated growth rates in domestic salmonids ...
