Ethics, ecology and evolution of Indonesian slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.) rescued from the pet trade
… photos of slow loris face masks in relation to antipredator defence. I conclude that the pelage colours recorded have probably evolved for maximum signalling effect. When combined with the slow lorises' chemical defence mechanism I propose that the distinctive facemasks in slow lorises could …

Local Variation in the Chemical Defence of European Pine Sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer): Effects of Host Tree Chemistry and Social Environment
Chemical defences are diverse in nature, and this variation can be adaptive or non-adaptive (i.e., environmental noise). Identifying the sources for this variation helps to understand ecosystem interactions and, to make more accurate predictions of species distributions and local abundances. The …

Predator-prey behavioural interactions on plants, with special emphasis on aphid dropping defence and ladybird search strategies
… predator-prey system to examine both prey defence behaviours and predator search strategies. Considering the prey, dropping – a widespread but understudied antipredator behaviour – is my focus. My findings suggest that, although dropping seems superficially simple, the selective pressures …
