Shifted balance of risk and cost after autotomy affects use of cover, escape, activity, and foraging in the keeled earless lizard (Holbrookia propinqua) (2003, methodology): “…running speed increases with body temperature within a fairly wide range of temperatures (Bennett 1980; Huey 1982), body temperature and activity are correlated with substrate temperature (Judd 1975), and H. propinqua permit predators to approach closer before fleeing when warmer (Cooper 2000b).”
When to Run and When to Hide: The Influence of Concealment, Visibility, and Proximity to Refugia on Perceptions of Risk (2012, background): “…to a refuge, perceived risk often increases with distance from refugia such as burrows, trees, or rocky terrain as reflected by an increase in flight initiation distance (FID), which is the distance at which an animal flees with the approach of a predator (Cooper 1997, 2000; Côté & Hamel 2007).”
Effects of risk assessment, predator behavior, and habitat on escape behavior in Columbian black-tailed deer (2007, background): “For instance, a lizard approached by a predator while basking in a more exposed area on the ground initiates flight at a greater distance (Cooper 2000) or runs a greater distance before stopping (Blamires 1999) than in conditions where refuge is more immediately available.”
