Genomic characterization between strains selected for death-feigning duration for avoiding attack of a beetle

Abstract Predator avoidance is an important behavior that affects the degree of adaptation of organisms. We compared the DNA variation of one of the predator-avoidance behaviors, the recently extensively studied "death-feigning behavior”, between the long strain bred for feigning death for a lo...
