ABSTRACT Uncertainty has long been of interest to economists and psychologists more recently gained attention among ecologists. In the ecological world, animals must regularly make decisions related finding resources avoiding threats. Here, we describe uncertainty as a perceptual phenomenon decision‐makers, focus specifically on functional ecology such regarding predation risk. Like all uncertainty, about risk reflects informational limitations. When cues are available, they may be novel (i.e. unknown information), incomplete, unreliable, overly abundant complex, or conflicting. We review recent studies that have used these limitations induce These typically either over‐responses novelty neophobia) memory attenuation proxies for measuring uncertainty. Because changes in environment, particularly unpredictable changes, drive limitations, assessing variance spatio‐temporal risk, intensity predator encounter rate, diversity. also highlight anthropogenic within habitats likely dramatic impacts information availability thus antipredator modern world.

ABSTRACT Invasive species are among the biggest threats to biodiversity and represent billions of dollars global economy. pose a threat freshwater ecosystems, which most vulnerable due their isolation by terrestrial ecosystems impact human activities. While invasive in known cause extinctions therefore reduce richness, little attention has been paid effects on functional richness.

In response to uncertain risks, prey may rely on neophobic phenotypes reduce the costs associated with lack of information regarding local conditions. Neophobia has been shown be driven by reliability, ambient risk and predator diversity, all which shape uncertainty risk. We similarly expect environmental conditions interfering availability. order test how variables might responses in Trinidadian guppies (
