For this logical approach to predator-prey interactions. reason, the adaptations and tactics that prey show What are the environmental constraints that in­ to the foraging manoeuvers of their predators, and fluence the evolution of structures and behaviors the counteradaptations of their predators, are often involved in predation and its avoidance?
