Embryonic antipredator defenses and behavioral carryover effects in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)

Christopher Crowder et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ability of fathead minnow embryos to detect and respond to predation risk cues, and the impact of the embryonic environment on behavior after hatching. The results revealed that embryos developed under high-risk conditions exhibited reduced activity and showed enhanced antipredator behavior after hatching. These findings provide new insights into the learning capabilities and antipredator behaviors of aquatic vertebrate embryos.

The behavioural and physiological ecology of embryos: responding to the challenges of life inside an egg

Wei-Guo Du et al.

Summary: Research has shown that embryos have a greater complexity and adaptability than previously thought. They can respond and adapt to environmental changes on both ecological and evolutionary timescales. Embryos exhibit a wide range of behavioral and physiological responses to their developmental environments, which can affect offspring phenotypes and the dynamics of populations and communities.

Frog embryos use multiple levels of temporal pattern in risk assessment for vibration-cued escape hatching

Julie Jung et al.

Summary: Embryos of red-eyed treefrogs hatch prematurely to escape from egg predators, and they use multiple vibration properties, including temporal pattern elements, to inform their hatching response. They can also utilize long gaps within a rhythmic pattern of vibrations as indicators of risks. Embryo behavior is contextually modulated and can effectively distinguish between risk cues and benign stimuli.

Ontogeny of risk assessment and escape-hatching performance by red-eyed treefrog embryos in two threat contexts

Brandon A. Guell et al.

Summary: Arboreal embryos of red-eyed treefrogs hatch prematurely in response to hypoxia and mechanosensory cues in snake attacks. However, hatching later improves tadpole survival. Risk assessment decreases as hatchling survival improves, and hatching performance increases as embryos develop. Snakes eat faster than embryos asphyxiate, leading to embryos deciding to hatch sooner and hatch faster in response to mechanosensory cues.

Heat-Induced Hatching of Red-Eyed Treefrog Embryos: Hydration and Clutch Structure Increase Behavioral Thermal Tolerance

Estefany Caroline Guevara-Molina et al.

Summary: This study investigates the behavioral response of amphibian embryos to high temperatures. It found that embryos of Agalychnis callidryas hatch early as a response to heat to avoid potentially lethal warming. The thermal tolerance of the embryos depends on hydration and surrounding structure, with hydrated embryos showing lower tolerance but better protection from environmental warming.

Escape-hatching decisions show adaptive ontogenetic changes in how embryos manage ambiguity in predation risk cues

Julie Jung et al.

Summary: The study revealed that as animals develop, embryos' decision rules for ambiguous cues in deploying escape behavior change. Older embryos showed stronger responses to unfamiliar cues, suggesting developmental behavioral adaptations in response to perceived threats are common.

Friend or foe? Development of odour detection, differentiation and antipredator response in an embryonic elasmobranch

Connor R. Gervais et al.

Summary: Young animals, especially those developing within eggs, are highly vulnerable to predation risk due to their limited sensory systems; embryonic Port Jackson sharks can differentiate between odour cues and exhibit different antipredator responses; however, this ability is constrained by their developing sensory capacity.
