Description
Systematic measurement of antipredator escape behavior by approaching focal individuals at standardized speed and recording distances at key behavioral response points. Includes observation of social context and environmental variables.
Typical Equipment
- binoculars
- 15-45x spotting scope
- flags
- metre tape
- Bushnell range finder
Output Measurements
- flight initiation distance
- starting distance
- alert distance
- social group size
- substrate type
