Trade-off in antipredatory strategies of reptiles
Staňková, Jana ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Kodym, Petr (referee)
Antipredatory strategies determine to some extent a succes of a prey to survive a predator's attack. Many species developed dozens of antipredatory strategies during an evolution. A certain animal must select one of the strategies to use under certain conditions. This selection depends on many factors and also on the prey's willingness to risk in trade-off with the predatory risk. There is a plenty of strategy types and theories that deal with those. These theories also investigate a trade-off concept which the prey must take into account during the attack. Foods abundance, temperature, daytime, prey's age and condition, fitness and many others interfere the decision of which antipredatory strategy is the most convenient at the time. My thesis deals with the use of a trade-off concept in reptilia's antipredatory strategies. Because this order is very varied and many information is available, I focused on the Sauria class.
