Abstract
Carnivores and their prey often represent behaviorally sophisticated games of stealth and fear. However, traditional mass-action models of predator-prey dynamics treat individuals as behaviorally unresponsive “molecules” in Brownian motion. Here, the goal is to extend foraging theory to consider a predator-prey game of stealth and fear and then consider the consequences of this game for predator-prey population dynamics.At the ESS of the game, the prey select an optimal level of apprehension and vigilance while the predator selects the optimal amount of time to remain in a hunting patch before moving onto another patch of prey.
