Trade-offs between performance and variability in the escape responses of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)

Successful predator evasion is essential to the fitness of many animals. Variation in escape behaviour may be adaptive as it reduces predictability, enhancing escape success. High escape velocities and accelerations also increase escape success, but biomechanical factors likely constrain the behavio...
