Abstract：
:In many organisms, specific predator species induce defensive phenotypes that are qualitatively different from the phenotypes induced by other predator species. This differential induction implies that there is no optimal phenotype that works best against all predators. However, few studies have actually tested the hypothesis that each predator-induced phenotype provides the highest survival rate in encounters with the predator that induced that phenotype. In this experiment, I reared Pacific treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) larvae with chemical cues from two different predators (bluegill sunfish and predaceous diving-beetle larvae), and without predator cues. The Pacific treefrog larvae in the three treatments differed in their morphology and foraging behavior. I then exposed tadpoles from each treatment to free-foraging predaceous diving beetles and bluegill sunfish. Tadpoles survived best when exposed to the predator whose cues they were reared with, and worst when exposed to the other predator. In both predator environments, the tadpoles reared in the nonpredator control treatment had intermediate survival between the two predator-induced groups. Thus, there is no generalized "antipredator" response to these predators; rather, there was a clear trade-off in survival abilities between the predators.
