Knowledge graph centered on Flight initiation distance protocol (Megapodiidae) with 9 nodes and 15 connections. Top connected: Developing an evolutionary ecology of fear: how li, flight initiation distance, phylogenetically independent contrasts, ecology of fear, disturbance tolerance.

Description

Standardized approach to measure the distance at which birds flee when approached by humans at a steady pace. Involves recording starting distance, approaching at 0.5 m/s, and measuring the distance when the bird initiates escape behavior.

Typical Equipment

• measuring devices for distance

Output Measurements

• flight initiation distance
• starting distance
• direct FID
