Animals use behavior such as vigilance or flight in order to cope with the threat of predation. I look at several antipredator behaviors: Alert Distance (AD), Flight Initiation Distance (FID), the decision to initiate flight, and Distance Fled (DF). All of these behaviors are known to be influenced by the amount of risk assessed by the prey, and flight should only be undertaken when the benefits of fleeing equal the costs of leaving. In Chapter 1, AD and FID are evaluated as personality traits. In Chapter 2, I explored the effect of group living and social distractions on anti-predator behaviors (AD, FID, and the decision to flee) by testing four different hypotheses. And finally, in Chapter 3, I compared antipredator behavioral responses b...
