How prey animals determine predation risk remains uncertain. We propose that one signal of high predation risk is repeated activation of fight-or-flight behaviour. We activated escape runs in the cricket Gryllus texensis by blowing air on the cerci. Escape runs were induced for 5 min, three times per day, three times per week for 4 weeks. Repeated...

... In conclusion, we found that although an immune challenge does have negative impacts on reproduction, adults experience fewer fitness trade-offs than are generally predicted, and that juveniles experience few, if any, reproductive consequences later in life from an acute immune challenge. Past studies have demonstrated that enduring multiple stressors simultaneously can induce complicated physiological interactions (Adamo, 2020;Adamo & McKee, 2017), and here we show that even minor acute stressors can have significant impacts on an individual's growth and reproduction. Together, these findings highlight that factors affecting fitness can be complex and at times unpredictable, and that we must strive for a multifaceted approach to understanding the constraints and adaptations that organisms experience in response to the numerous immune and physiological stressors encountered throughout their lives. ...
