Behavioural responses to human disturbance: a matter of choice? (2004, unknown): “Currently, flush distance is frequently used as a currency for measuring susceptibility to disturbance (e.g. Madsen 1985; Anderson 1988) and its species-specific properties are a key assumption of wildlife buffer zones (Blumstein et al. 2003).”
Effect of human activities on the behaviour of breeding Spanish imperial eagles (Aquila adalberti): management implications for the conservation of a threatened species (2006, result): “The fact that the average flight distance was similar to the average alert distance, unlike what has been found in the majority of bird studies (Fernández-Juricic, Jiménez & Lucas, 2002), is probably because the Spanish imperial eagle, like several other bird species (Blumstein et al., 2003), can de”
Developing an evolutionary ecology of fear : how life history and natural history traits affect disturbance tolerance in birds (2006, background): “Flight initiation distance (FID) is the distance that an individual approached by a predator initiates flight (Blumstein 2003), and this trait, while variable, reflects species-specific differences (Blumstein et al. 2003).”
Testing the minimum approach distance guidelines for incubating Royal penguins Eudyptes schlegeli (2005, background): “…which can reveal specific responses elicited by specific stimuli, appropriately cater for the variation in seabird and waterbird responses to human activity that are known to exist (Fernández-Juricic et al., 2002; Blumstein et al., 2003), and allow rapid and accurate development of guidelines.”
Should we consider individual behavior differences in applied wildlife conservation studies (2017, background): “The maintenance of less-disturbed buffers around highly disturbed areasmay promote utilization by and continued survival of individuals that are less behaviorally suited to anthropogenically altered environments (Blumstein et al., 2003; Richardson and Miller, 1997).”
Towards ecologically meaningful and socially acceptable buffers: Response distances of shorebirds in Victoria, Australia, to human disturbance (2011, background): “Variation in FID was evident across species and has been widely eported (Blumstein et al., 2003; Burger, 1981; Burger & Gochfeld, 981; Cooke, 1980; Holmes et al., 1993; Kirby et al., 1993; Rodgers & mith, 1997) and has often been regarded as a function of body mass lthough it is not clear why body m”
Exposure to ecotourism reduces survival and affects stress response in hoatzin chicks (Opisthocomus hoazin) (2004, background): “Recent studies clearly show that several constraints prevent some species in adapting to disturbances even if plasticity in flight behaviour exists (Griffin et al., 2000; Blumstein et al., 2003).”
Evaluating methods to quantify anthropogenic stressors on wild animals (2007, background): “Moreover, even when habituation occurs, it may often be partial (Frid and Dill, 2002), which means that species-specific responses to disturbance (Blumstein et al., 2003) may make community-level responses to disturbance predictable (e.g., Fernández-Juricic, 2002).”
A review of flight-initiation distances and their application to managing disturbance to Australian birds (2012, unknown): “…of the data (thus, see FIDs from mixed species flocks are not available either because studies have generally approached only single species flocks (e.g. Paton et al. 2000) or because they assume that no species interactions occur and use a focal bird approach (Blumstein et al. 2003).”
The Behavioral Ecology of Disturbance Responses (2007, background): “Primary among these is the simple question: does human disturbance affect animals ( Blumstein, Anthony, Harcourt, & Ross, 2003; Klein, Humphrey, & Percival, 1995; Tuite, Hanson, & Owen, 1984)? Behavioral measures have also been used when human disturbance effects are assumed and the question is mor”
Ungulate flight responses to human disturbance: a review and meta-analysis. (2008, result): “…showed reduced flight responses compared to those in areas where human contact is rare, which is in agreement with studies of other taxa (Stankowich and Blumstein, 2005), including lizards (e.g., Labra and Leonard, 1999; Cooper et al., 2003) and birds (e.g., Cooke, 1980; Blumstein et al., 2003).”
Does intruder group size and orientation affect flight initiation distance in birds? (2005, background): “Sub-sequent studies have demonstrated that optimal FID can be influenced by many variables (e.g., species –Blumstein et al., 2003; flock size –Burger & Gochfeld, 1991; speed of predator –Cooper, 2003; distance from protection –Dill & Houtman, 1989; type of disturbance –Rodgers & Smith, 1997;…”
