Behavioral responses to spatial variation in perceived predation risk and resource availability in an arboreal primate (2022)
Journal Article
Parker, E. J., Hill, R. A., & Koyama, N. F. (2022). Behavioral responses to spatial variation in perceived predation risk and resource availability in an arboreal primate. Ecosphere, 13(2), Article e3945. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3945

Prey species must often face a trade-off between acquiring resources and minimizing predation risk.
