Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Prey animals that experience a high background level of risk are known to exhibit considerable phenotypic plasticity in their responses to unknown predators. When background risk is high, prey exhibit neophobic responses to unknown odours, i.e. they show a fear response to any new stimulus. Here, we examine whether temporal variation in the pattern of risk to which prey are exposed influences neophobic responses. To establish prey groups with different temporal patterns of risk, embryonic woodfrogs ( Lithobates sylvaticus ) were exposed to conspecific alarm cues each morning and control cues in the evening, or conspecific alarm cues each evening and control cues in the morning, for their entire embryonic period. After the tadpoles hatched they were tested at both times of day for known risk cues (alarm cues), unknown predator odours or water control. Tadpoles responded to alarm cues at any time of day, but showed neophobic responses to predator odours only if their test time matched their embryonic risk exposure time. These results demonstrate a high level of sophistication of neophobic responses and points to temporal variation in risk as a key driver of antipredator decision making.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
