The constant threat from a non-native predator increases tail muscle and fast-start swimming performance in Xenopus tadpoles

The constant threat from a non-native predator increases tail muscle and fast-start swimming performance in Xenopus tadpoles

Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity is the ability of prey to adapt to their native predator. However, owing to environmental changes, encounters with unknown predators are inevitable. Therefore, study of prey and non-native predator interaction will reveal the primary stages of adaptive strategi...
