An animal's behaviour can influence many variables, such as its energy reserves, its risk of injury or mortality, and its rate of reproduction. To identify the optimal action in a given situation, these various effects can be compared in the common currency of reproductive value. While this idea has been widely used to study trade-offs between pairs of variables, e.g. between energy gain versus survival, here we present a unified framework that makes explicit how these various trade-offs fit together. This unification covers a wide range of biological phenomena, highlighting similarities in their logical structure and helping to identify knowledge gaps. To fill one such gap, we present a new model of foraging under the risk of predation and damage accumulation. We conclude by discussing the use and limitations of state-dependent optimisation theory in predicting biological observations.

New insights on the role of ecology and life-history in social evolution
Avila, Piret (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)Biological altruism, defined as a behaviour that benefits others at an apparent cost to the focal individual, is found abundantly across different levels of biological organization. While kin selection has been useful for ... -
Context-dependent coloration of prey and predator decision making in contrasting light environments
Nokelainen, Ossi; de Moraes Rezende, Francisko; Valkonen, Janne K.; Mappes, Johanna (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022)A big question in behavioral ecology is what drives diversity of color signals. One possible explanation is that environmental conditions, such as light environment, may alter visual signaling of prey, which could affect ... -
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 ... -
Contrasting structural complexity differentiate hunting strategy in an ambush apex predator
Říha, Milan; Gjelland, Karl Ø.; Děd, Vilém; Eloranta, Antti P.; Rabaneda-Bueno, Ruben; Baktoft, Henrik; Vejřík, Lukáš; Vejříková, Ivana; Draštík, Vladislav; Šmejkal, Marek; Holubová, Michaela; Jůza, Tomas; Rosten, Carolyn; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Økland, Finn; Peterka, Jiří (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)Structural complexity is known to influence prey behaviour, mortality and population structure, but the effects on predators have received less attention. We tested whether contrasting structural complexity in two newly ... -
Social transmission in the wild can reduce predation pressure on novel prey signals
Hämäläinen, Liisa; Hoppitt, William; Rowland, Hannah M.; Mappes, Johanna; Fulford, Anthony J.; Sosa, Sebastian; Thorogood, Rose (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)Social transmission of information is taxonomically widespread and could have profound effects on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of animal communities. Demonstrating this in the wild, however, has been challenging. ...
