Dr. Adam Crane, Banting Postdoctoral Fellow

Adam's highly innovative research program focusses on predator-prey interactions and cognition among a variety of prey species. His recent work has examined (1) the influence of social behaviour of fear recovery, (2) learning and memory of antipredator recognition following novel patterns of risk, and (3) the vulnerability of prey and their behavioural defences against invasive predators.
