Organisms may reduce the risk of predation by responding to chemical cues from predators. Recent research shows that many species vary their antipredator response depending on the diet of the predator. We examined the responses of three plethodontid species of salamander (Plethodon cinereus, Eurycea bislineata, and Desmognathus ochrophaeus) to chemical cues from a shared snake predator (Thamnophis sirtalis). At the time of the study, Eurycea bislineata showed overlap in habitat with Plethodon cinereus and Desmognathus ochrophaeus, but Plethodon cinereus and Desmognathus ochrophaeus showed no overlap with one another. Each salamander species was presented with chemical cues from snakes fed Desmognathus ochrophaeus (TS_Do), Eurycea bislineata (TS_Eb), and Plethodon cinereus (TS_Pc). Plethodon cinereus avoided both TS_Pc and TS_Eb, whereas Eurycea bislineata avoided only TS_Eb. Conversely, Desmognathus ochrophaeus did not avoid any cues from the predator, regardless of the diet of the snake. When we analyzed activity data, we discovered that Plethodon cinereus showed higher activity levels when exposed to TS_Pc than to the other cues. Individual Eurycea bislineata did not vary their activity to the three treatments. Lastly, Desmognathus ochrophaeus, which did not avoid any of the cues from the predator, were more active in response to TS_Do and TS_Eb than to TS_Pc. These results show that phylogenetically related prey species may employ a variety of antipredator behaviors and suggest that discrimination of predator diet-cues may be linked to the degree of microhabitat overlap among the different prey species at the time of our study. Our study also highlights the importance of using multiple response variables when examining antipredator behavior.
