Sensitivity of wildlife to spatial patterns of recreationist behavior: A critical assessment of minimum approaching distances and buffer areas for grassland birds (2005, background): “This effect could become particularly pronounced in open habitats (e.g., Finney et al., 2005), where high visibility could increase the distance at which threats are detected (Whittingham et al., 2004).”
Impacts of climate on prey abundance account for fluctuations in a population of a northern wader at the southern edge of its range (2010, methodology): “Resurfacing of the Pennine Way longdistance footpath running through Snake Summit may have reduced levels of disturbance by walkers from 1994 onwards (Finney et al., 2005).”
