... in predator avoidance and hence survival. Escape latency, defined as the time interval between the onset of the threatening stimuli and the first visible reaction of the fish ( Domenici and Hale, 2019 ), has been shown to predict survival with high accuracy ( Katzir and Camhi, 1993 ; McCormick et al., 2018...

.... The structure of behaviour can strongly constrain or support the gathering of information. The ability of animals to collect and process information is therefore an important factor shaping predator avoidance strategies. Fiddler crabs, like many prey animals, escape predators in a multi-step sequence...
