Abstract

An organism’s investment in different traits to reduce predation is determined by the Fitness benefit of the defense relative to the Fitness costs associated with the allocation of time and resources to the defense. Inherent tradeoffs in time and resource allocation should result in differential investment in defense along a resource gradient, but competing models predict different patterns of investment. There are currently insuffcient empirical data on changes in investment in defensive traits or their costs along resource gradients
