        abstract = {When faced with potential predators, animals instinctively decide whether there
is a threat they should escape from, and also when, how, and where to take
evasive action. While escape is often viewed in classical ethology as an action
that is released upon presentation of specific stimuli, successful and adaptive
escape behaviour relies on integrating information from sensory systems,
stored knowledge, and internal states. From a neuroscience perspective,
escape is an incredibly rich model that provides opportunities for investigating
processes such as perceptual and value-based decision-making, or action
selection, in an ethological setting. We review recent research from laboratory
and field studies that explore, at the behavioural and mechanistic levels, how
elements from multiple information streams are integrated to generate flexible
escape behaviour.},
