How and when deimatic behaviours are performed can change during encounters between predators and prey. Some predators attack repeatedly, investigating and manipulating prey, and in response, an individual’s deimatic behaviour may intensify or may diminish in favour of escaping. The presence of a resource can further force a trade-off between displaying and escaping. Here, we examined the intensity of the katydid’s deimatic behaviour, a visual display, the propensity of their escape response under repeated simulated attacks, and how these responses change in the presence of foraging resources. We found that display intensity increased with repeated simulated attacks and that females displayed at a greater intensity than males. The presence of their preferred food plant had no significant effect on display intensity, but reduced escape probability in both sexes. Some katydids were predictable in their display intensity and at the population level we found that strong display intensity is moderately repeatable. Overall, our results suggest that 1) display intensity increases with repeated attacks and might indicate a cost in performing at maximum intensity upon first attack, 2) deploying a deimatic display while feeding can reduce the need to flee a rich foraging patch and 3) some individuals are consistent in their display intensities. Future experiments that aim to determine causal mechanisms such as limitations to perception of predators, sensitisation to stimuli and physiological constraints to display intensity will provide necessary insight into how deimatic displays function.

A synthesis of deimatic behaviour
Drinkwater, Eleanor; Allen, William L.; Endler, John A.; Hanlon, Roger T.; Holmes, Grace; Homziak, Nicholas T.; Kang, Changku; Leavell, Brian C.; Lehtonen, Jussi; Loeffler‐Henry, Karl; Ratcliffe, John M.; Rowe, Candy; Ruxton, Graeme D.; Sherratt, Tom N.; Skelhorn, John; Skojec, Chelsea; Smart, Hannah R.; White, Thomas E.; Yack, Jayne E.; Young, Catherine M.; Umbers, Kate D. L. (Wiley, 2022)Deimatic behaviours, also referred to as startle behaviours, are used against predators and rivals. Although many are spectacular, their proximate and ultimate causes remain unclear. In this review we aim to synthesise ... -
The protective value of a defensive display varies with the experience of wild predators
Umbers, Kate D. L.; White, Thomas E.; De Bona, Sebastiano; Haff, Tonya; Ryeland, Julia; Drinkwater, Eleanor; Mappes, Johanna (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Predation has driven the evolution of diverse adaptations for defence among prey, and one striking example is the deimatic display. While such displays can resemble, or indeed co-occur with, aposematic ‘warning’ signals, ... -
Social information use by predators : expanding the information ecology of prey defences
Hämäläinen, Liisa; M. Rowland, Hannah; Mappes, Johanna; Thorogood, Rose (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)Social information use is well documented across the animal kingdom, but how it influences ecological and evolutionary processes is only just beginning to be investigated. Here we evaluate how social transmission may ... -
Need for speed : short lifespan selects for increased learning ability
Liedtke, Jannis; Fromhage, Lutz (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)It is generally assumed that an investment into cognitive abilities and their associated cost is particularly beneficial for long-lived species, as a prolonged lifespan allows to recoup the initial investment. However, ... -
Short-term responses of Rana arvalis tadpoles to pH and predator stress : adaptive divergence in behavioural and physiological plasticity?
Scaramella, Nicholas; Mausbach, Jelena; Laurila, Anssi; Stednitz, Sarah; Räsänen, Katja (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Environmental stress is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in nature. To cope with stress, organisms can adjust through phenotypic plasticity and/or adapt through genetic change. Here, we compared ...
