- Title
Flush early and avoid the rush: a general rule of antipredator behavior?
- Authors
Blumstein, Daniel T.
- Abstract
The article discusses antipredator behavior, particularly the hypothesis of the author that as soon as predators come near, the immediate reaction of animals is flight. According to the author, this hypothesis is based on the observation of birds, mammals and some lizards and the statistical relationship between the alert distance and the flight initiation distance. He concludes that based on the study taken by Stankowich and Coss, animals tend to apply the principle of flush early and avoid the rush during detection of predators.
