Flight initiation distance (FID) buffer from critical wildlife area. [1] [2] The flight zone of an animal is the area surrounding an animal that if encroached upon by a potential predator or threat, including humans, will cause alarm and escape behavior.
The flight zone is the distance within which a person can approach an animal before it moves away. Herd animals usually turn and face a potential threat when it is outside of their flight zone, but when it enters the flight zone, the animal turns and moves away.
Studies have shown that it is physically possible for flying animals to reach 18-metre (59 ft) wingspans, [21] but there is no firm evidence that any flying animal, not even the azhdarchid pterosaurs, got that large.
Critical distance for an animal is the distance a human or an aggressor animal has to approach in order to trigger a defensive attack of the first animal. The concept was introduced by Swiss zoologist Heini Hediger in 1954, along with other space boundaries for an animal, such as flight distance (run boundary), critical distance (attack ...
25 Αυγ 2008 · Flight distance of adult birds when approached by a human being varied significantly among species, with mean distance explaining interspecific variation in population trends in Europe, with a large effect size of 0.36–0.58 depending on the analysis.
13 Αυγ 2008 · Here, I tested the hypothesis that the decrease in flight distance to a potential predator (an approaching human) reflected adaptation to urbanization, using a data set of flight distances of 44 common species of European birds in different stages of adaptation to urban environments.
Flight distance is an animal's instinctive response to potential threats. In the world of Canine Science, it refers to a safe distance at which a dog feels comfortable and doesn't perceive the approaching object (be that a person, another animal or anything perceived as a threat) as a potential danger.
