How predators affect the behaviour of their prey is one of the most studied subjects in behavioural ecology, with many hypothesis and models explaining how animals should behave and even more descriptive studies detailing how they do. The unification of the empirical with the theoretical, however, remains limited. The overall aim of my thesis was to address this paucity at Seal Island, South Africa, where recently quantified patterns of predation pressure by white sharks Carcharodon carcharias on Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus suggested a landscape of fear particularly apposite to this. 2014-12-28T15:03:05Z 2014-12-28T15:03:05Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10423 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
