TL;DR: This synthesis shows that prey abundance may have relatively little effect on pit relocation and that physical properties of the habitat or competition often override its effect, and proposes new research directions, such as studying whether pit relocation is an adaptive response, when controlling for possible phylogenetic effects.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the behaviour of trap‐building predators is not stereotypic or fixed as was once commonly accepted, rather it can vary greatly, depending on the individual's internal state and its interactions with external environmental factors.

TL;DR: This synthesis follows previous pioneering reviews addressing specific aspects of male costs, but strives to summarize all known male reproductive cost types more comprehensively, including their classification.

TL;DR: It is postulate that low-quality nutrition reduces growth rates, promotes a relative decline in reproductive rates and thus prolongs life, and points to a continuum of slow-to-fast life-history strategies.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the simulation model used to test the relative success of an ambush and an active predator changes as a function of the relative velocity and movement directionality of prey and active predator is a better predictor of encounter rates than previous studies.
