No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, background): “central to the efficiency and efficacy of nonlethal methods (e.g. development of repellents and methods to provoke animal fear; Conover, 2002; animal response to human disturbances; Blumstein, 2006; Bejder, Samuels, Whitehead, Finn, & Allen, 2009), although the role of behaviour is sometimes not exp”
Behavioural responses of wildlife to urban environments (2013, background): “, 2001; Blumstein et al., 2005; Blumstein, 2006), age at first reproduction (Blumstein, 2006) and availability of escape options (Fernández-Juricic et al., 2001) have all been shown to affect FID in birds. Blumstein (2006) postulated that the greater alert distances (or increased wariness) exhibited”
Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, unknown): “This mechanistic approach can help predict reactions of different species based on variations in ecological conditions and life history traits (Blumstein 2006).”
A review of flight-initiation distances and their application to managing disturbance to Australian birds (2012, unknown): “3), and a habitat bias, with most FIDs available from wetlands, few from grasslands, and few studies which specify the microhabitat of focal birds such as substrate (e.g. for wetland birds, margin or water) (but see Blumstein 2006).”
Costs of group-living for a normally solitary forager: effects of provisioning tourism on southern stingrays Dasyatis americana (2008, background): “…animals respond to human disturbance as they do to their natural predators by increasing vigilance, increasing group size, abandoning the site, selecting alternative habitats, altering mate choice, and/or adjusting life-history decisions (Frid & Dill 2002, Beale & Monaghan 2004, Blumstein 2006).”
Risk taking by singing males (2008, methodology): “The method adopted differed from that of Blumstein (2006) in one important respect: to avoid the problem of large species being detected by the observer at a larger distance than small species, thereby producing a relationship between starting distance and body size, we used binoculars to find a…”
The ecology of human fear: survival optimization and the nervous system (2015, background): “We speculate that the fidelity of both flexible and fixed neural survival circuits may equate to the extinctionresistance of the organism, and that flexible systems in humans permit our survival in the least optimal of circumstances.”
Rural-Urban Differences in Escape Behavior of European Birds across a Latitudinal Gradient (2017, methodology): “We collected data from April to September 2015 (breeding season) using a standard protocol (Blumstein, 2006).”
Flight distance of urban birds, predation, and selection for urban life (2008, methodology): “Body mass Larger species have longer flight distances than small species (Blumstein 2006).”
A meta-analysis of correlated behaviours with implications for behavioural syndromes: mean effect size, publication bias, phylogenetic effects and the role of mediator variables (2012, background): “At the interspecific level, comparative studies in birds identified the most important evolutionary determinants of risk-taking and exploration (Mettke-Hofmann et al. 2002; Blumstein 2006; Møller and Garamszegi 2012).”
Risk-taking behavior, urbanization and the pace of life in birds (2018, methodology): “related to certain vital rates in birds, like fecundity (Blumstein 2006; Møller and Garamszegi 2012), the fast-slow continuum is better characterized in the context of the full life cycle of a species (Adler et al.”
Habituation and sensitization: new thoughts about old ideas (2016, unknown): “For instance, body size (Blumstein, 2006) and starting distance or alert distance (Blumstein, 2003, 2010; Samia & Blumstein, 2014; Samia, Nomura, & Blumstein, 2013) explain a considerable amount of variation in FID: large animals and animals that alert and flee at greater distances when approached.”
