Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “…and linear features on the landscape (e.g. major roads) characterised by high levels of human activity are largely avoided by both herbivores (Stankowich 2008, Sawyer et al. 2006, Polfus et al. 2010, Lian et al. 2011, Ciuti et al. 2012) and carnivores (for brown bear – Ursus arctos see…”
African ungulates and their drinking problems: hunting and predation risks constrain access to water (2012, unknown): “In large ungulates, studies have reported increased flight initiation distance in response to hunting disturbance (reviewed in Stankowich 2008).”
Body size and reserve protection affect flight initiation distance in parrotfishes (2009, background): “Also FID to humans can decrease with increasing human exposure for other taxa, even when animals are not hunted in the area with lower exposure (e.g. Burger and Gochfeld 1990; Baudains and Loyd 2007; Cooper and Whiting 2007; Stankowich 2008).”
Do bears know they are being hunted (2012, background): “Nonlethal effects are recognized today to be common and large for many taxa (Preisser et al., 2007; Stankowich, 2008; Preisser and Bolnick, 2008), can drive trophic cascades (Schmitz et al.”
Hunting for fear: innovating management of human–wildlife conflicts (2013, background): “…most intense hunting during periods that animals are most likely to perceive and respond to risk, for example during calving and preweaning seasons (Stankowich 2008) and during the vegetative growing season instead of the end of dry season or winter when ungulate behaviour is more driven by…”
Human activity influences wildlife populations and activity patterns: implications for spatial and temporal refuges (2021, background): “This might also entail maintaining spatial refuges for wildlife without human recreation that animals can use during the day and night (Reed and Merenlender 2008, Stankowich 2008, Switalski and Jones 2012, Larson et al. 2019).”
Lasting behavioural responses of brown bears to experimental encounters with humans (2013, background): “Many studies of the effects of human activities on wildlife utilise short-term measures, such as flight initiation distance (FID) and/or composite metrics including FID and alert distance; however, more systematic research is needed to evaluate long-term effects of disturbance (Stankowich 2008).”
The ecological impact of humans and dogs on wildlife in protected areas in eastern North America (2016, result): “These results are contrary to other studies which have shown increased flight responses to people in hunted populations of ungulates versus unhunted populations (Stankowich, 2008).”
Interindividual variability in habitat use: evidence for a risk management syndrome in roe deer? (2015, methodology): “…stressful event, we measured FID (the distance between the predator/observer and the target animal 107 D ow nloaded from https://academ ic.oup.com /beheco/article-abstract/26/1/105/2262108 by guest on 19 January 2019 Behavioral Ecology when it takes flight; Ydenberg and Dill 1986; Stankowich 2008).”
Effects of hunting with hounds on a non-target species living on the edge of a protected area (2011, background): “The impact of human activities on wildlife, and of hunting in particular, is often complex and varies in space and across time, although its actual effects are still poorly understood (Blumstein et al., 2005; Jayakody et al., 2008; Stankowich, 2008).”
Concentration of fecal cortisol metabolites in chamois in relation to tourist pressure in Tatra National Park (South Poland) (2013, background): “The effects of human disturbance on free-ranging animals have been studied following several approaches (e.g., Taylor and Knight 2003; Arlettaz et al. 2007; Stankowich 2008).”
Meta-analyses of whale-watching impact studies: Comparisons of cetacean responses to disturbance (2016, result): “…data from 15 different studies (1 study examining 2 separate populations, Table 1), in line with other meta-analyses on dis - turbance response (Stankowich 2008), of which 8 studies examined changes in activity budget, 6 considered variations in inter-breath intervals, 6 measured speed, and 5…”
