Ecological and environmental predictors of escape among birds on a large tropical island [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2022
Abstract Ecological and environmental traits can influence avian escape behaviour but most data underpinning our current understanding relates to continental and temperate areas and species. We conducted a phylogenetically controlled comparative analysis of flight-initiation distance (FID) against a variety of ...
