Antipredator strategies of house finches: are urban habitats safe spots from predators even when humans are around? (2009, background): “Flight initiation distance depends on the ability of prey to detect and escape from a predator, the costs of escaping, and the probability of being killed (Cooper and Frederick 2007).”
Body size and reserve protection affect flight initiation distance in parrotfishes (2009, background): “According to theory (Ydenberg and Dill 1986; Cooper and Frederick 2007), the variables predicted to influence FID are associated with the threat posed by the predator (e.”
Antipredator behavior in blackbirds: habituation complements risk allocation (2009, background): “This reduction in the strength of escape responses could increase the probability of prey being captured in any given encounter (Cooper and Frederick 2007), particularly if prey do not show compensatory effects (Rodriguez-Prieto et al. 2008).”
Predator lethality, optimal escape behavior, and autotomy (2010, methodology): “In one version of optimal escape theory, fitness benefits that may be gained by not fleeing are lost if the prey is killed (Cooper and Frederick 2007a).”
When to Run and When to Hide: The Influence of Concealment, Visibility, and Proximity to Refugia on Perceptions of Risk (2012, background): “Therefore, when a prey animal detects an approaching predator, it must decide when to flee, and because it should do so in a way that maximizes fitness, the optimal FID is expected to increase as risk of capture increases (Cooper & Frederick 2007, 2010).”
Ungulate flight responses to human disturbance: a review and meta-analysis. (2008, background): “…because animals likely accrue time costs (e.g., lost foraging or mating opportunities) while continuously monitoring an approacher (Blumstein, 2003; Cooper and Frederick, 2007), but there is considerable interspecies variation in the direction of the relationship between FID and DM (reviewed in…”
Reactive responses of zebras to lion encounters shape their predator–prey space game at large scale (2016, neutral): “Accepted 20 August 2015 Oikos 125: 829–838, 2016 doi: 10.1111/oik.02555 Cooper and Frederick 2007).”
