Differential gene expression mediates physiological responses to perceived predation risk in a developmentally plastic vertebrate, the northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens)
Prey can respond to predation risk through developmental plasticity, generating anti-predator phenotypes. These inducible defenses arise from changes to the stress axis, and neuroendocrine-triggered gene regulation is a likely mechanism influencing such phenotypes. As tadpoles, amphibians improve th...
