The notion of stealthy predation often invokes images of a predator hiding and waiting to ambush its unsuspecting prey. In this issue of PNAS, Manicom et al. (1) offer an alternative reason why predators hide that involves an important tradeoff between capturing prey and seeking refuge to avoid their own demise from other predator species. Such tradeoff behavior is routinely demonstrated by prey species (2, 3), but Manicom et al. present experimental evidence that predators victimized by other predators may also engage in antipredator tactics.
