Island tameness: living on islands reduces flight initiation distance.
One of Darwin's most widely known conjectures is that prey are tame on remote islands, where mammalian predators are absent. Many species appear to permit close approach on such islands, but no comparative studies have demonstrated reduced wariness quantified as flight initiation distance (FID; i.e. predator-prey distance when the prey begins to flee) in comparison with mainland relatives. We u...
متن کاملThe influence of distance to refuge on flight initiation distance in the gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
DILL, L. M., and HOUTMAN, R. 1989. The influence of distance to refuge on flight initiation distance in the gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Can. J. Zool . 67: 233 235. Gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) typically run to the nearest tree to escape from predators they encounter while foraging on the ground. As the risk of capture increases with distance from the refuge tree, squirrels fe...
متن کاملDoes Locomotor Ability Influence Flight Initiation Distance in YellowBellied Marmots?
Flight initiation distance (FID) is the distance between a potential threat and the point at which a potential prey flees. Animals may modify their FID to compensate for increased risk generated by external/extrinsic factors such as habitat type, visibility, group size, time of year, predatorapproach velocity, and distance to burrow, as well as internal/intrinsic factors such as physical condit...
متن کاملGlobal trends on reef fishes' ecology of fear: Flight initiation distance for conservation.
Escape behaviors have a great potential as an indicator of the efficacy of management. For instance, the degree of fear perceived by fishes targeted by fisheries is frequently higher in unprotected marine areas than in areas where some protection is provided. We systematically reviewed the literature on how fear, which we define as variation in escape behavior, was quantified in reef fishes. In...
متن کاملNotes on tameness
We give an account of the tameness theorem for complete hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Our presentation makes use of ideas from a number of different sources. We aim to give an account that is readily accessible from fairly standard geometrical and topological arguments, and adaptable to variable curvature. Let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with π1(M) finitely generated. Marden [Ma] asked if t...
