Effects of risk assessment, predator behavior, and habitat on escape behavior in Columbian black-tailed deer (2007, background): “For example, when approached by humans, animals flee longer distances when the human is off of a trail rather than on a trail (Miller et al. 2001; Taylor and Knight 2003b), when animals are in areas with more human disturbance or hunting (King and Workman 1986), when animals are farther from refuge ”
Ungulate flight responses to human disturbance: a review and meta-analysis. (2008, background): “Of the many studies on the short-term effects of human activities on wildlife, most utilize flight response distances (Knight and Cole, 1995; Miller et al., 2001), and it is not uncommon for species to show short-term effects on flight behavior but suffer no ill long-term effects (Richens and…”
Recreation and large mammal activity in an urban nature reserve (2006, background): “In comparison to pedestrians, mountain bikers move quickly and quietly, and in the NROC also travel off designated trails, and thus may be especially unpredictable and hence disruptive to wildlife (MacArthur et al., 1982; Knight and Gutzwiller, 1995; Miller et al., 2001; Taylor and Knight, 2003).”
Quiet, Nonconsumptive Recreation Reduces Protected Area Effectiveness (2008, background): “Domestic dogs are often a particular focus of protected area management policy, due to concerns about their impacts on resources as well as conflicts among user groups ( Miller et al. 2001 ).”
Do pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) perceive roads as a predation risk (2006, background): “It is possible that some wildlife may become habituated towards various human activities if these activities are frequent and predictable (Miller et al. 2001).”
The ecological impact of humans and dogs on wildlife in protected areas in eastern North America (2016, background): “This compounding effect of dogs on the disturbance of wildlife has also been found for birds (Banks and Bryant, 2007; Weston et al., 2014) and other mammals (Mainini et al., 1993; Miller et al., 2001).”
Sensitivity of wildlife to spatial patterns of recreationist behavior: A critical assessment of minimum approaching distances and buffer areas for grassland birds (2005, background): “It is possible that by establishing and enforcing the use of pathways, birds will habituate to predictable patterns of human movement (e.g., Miller et al., 2001; Taylor and Knight, 2003).”
