Predator avoidance in fiddler crabs: 1. Escape decisions in relation to the risk of predation (2005, methodology): “Ydenberg & Dill 1986; Kramer & Bonenfant 1997; Cooper et al. 2003). For instance, the model developed by Kramer & Bonenfant (1997) successfully predicts the relationship between a predator’s approach direction (a human) and the distance at which woodchucks, Marmota monax, initiate their flight to a ”
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).”
Antipredator behavior in blackbirds: habituation complements risk allocation (2009, background): “he distance at which prey flees from an approaching predator is termed flight initiation distance (FID) and is a common parameter used to study the processes associated with prey escape decision making because it is related to the costs and benefits of remaining in a patch (Ydenberg and Dill 1986; ”
Sensitivity of wildlife to spatial patterns of recreationist behavior: A critical assessment of minimum approaching distances and buffer areas for grassland birds (2005, background): “…studies have found that direct approaches are more disturbing (animals fled at greater distances, Burger and Gochfeld, 1981, 1990; Cooper, 1997a,b; Cooper et al., 2003); while others found that tangential approaches are more disturbing under some circumstances (Bulova, 1994; Cooper et al., 2003).”
Effects of predator behavior and proximity on risk assessment by Columbian black-tailed deer (2006, background): “As predicted, Cooper et al. (2003) found that Bonaire whiptail lizards ( Cnemidophorus murinus ) had longer FIDs when approached quickly and directly than when approached quickly and indirectly.”
When and how do predator starting distances affect flight initiation distances (2005, background): “Standardizing approaches was important because lizards assess direct approaches as posing greater risk than indirect ones (e.g., Cooper 1997c; Martín and López 1999; Cooper et al. 2003a) and because FID is greater for faster approach (e.”
