Oviposition Habitat Selection in Response to Risk of Predation in Temporary Pools: Mode of Detection and Consistency across Experimental Venue

Natural selection should favor females that avoid ovipositing where risk of predation is high for their progeny. Despite the large consequences of such oviposition behavior for individual fitness, population dynamics, and community structure, relatively few studies have tested for this behavior. Mor...
