Predation is an important selective force for prey organisms, which have also developed different antipredator adaptions. Individuals of many animal species live in the group, which is generally believed to offer prey benefits from reduced predation risk and/or increased foraging efficiency. Different antipredator mechanisms of grouping prey have been well-developed theoretically and studied extensively for single species groups as compared to mixed-species groups. Yet, there has been a lack of understanding of how some antipredator mechanisms would be affected when applied to a mixed-species group due to additional effect of the within-group heterogeneity of prey. This thesis explored the consequence of mixed-species grouping on the r...
