Birds flush early and avoid the rush: an interspecific study by Samia, Diogo S M, Blumstein, Daniel T

“…Since 1986, studies about the escape decisions made by prey are grounded in optimal escape theory (OET) which states that prey will initiate escape when the…”

Phi index: a new metric to test the flush early and avoid the rush hypothesis by Samia, Diogo S M, Blumstein, Daniel T

“…Optimal escape theory states that animals should counterbalance the costs and benefits of flight when escaping from a potential predator. However, in apparent…”

Flight initiation distances in relation to sexual dichromatism and body size in birds from three continents by Møller, Anders P, Samia, Diogo S. M, Weston, Michael A, Guay, Patrick‐Jean, Blumstein, Daniel T

“…Predators exert strong selection pressures on their prey. Prey would therefore benefit by adjusting their behaviour to the risk of predation, while predators…”

Brain size as a driver of avian escape strategy by Samia, Diogo S. M., Pape Møller, Anders, Blumstein, Daniel T.

“…After detecting an approaching predator, animals make a decision when to flee. Prey will initiate flight soon after detecting a predator so as to minimize…”

Sex differences in lizard escape decisions vary with latitude, but not sexual dimorphism by Samia, Diogo S. M., Møller, Anders Pape, Blumstein, Daniel T., Stankowich, Theodore, Cooper, William E.

How Nature-Based Tourism Might Increase Prey Vulnerability to Predators by Geffroy, Benjamin, Samia, Diogo S.M., Bessa, Eduardo, Blumstein, Daniel T.

“…Tourism can be deleterious for wildlife because it triggers behavioral changes in individuals with cascading effects on populations and communities. Among…”

It is not always about body size: evidence of Rensch's rule in a male weapon by Machado, Glauco, Buzatto, Bruno A, Samia, Diogo S M

“…In many species, sexual dimorphism increases with body size when males are the larger sex but decreases when females are the larger sex, a macro-evolutionary…”

Do animals generally flush early and avoid the rush? A meta-analysis by Samia, Diogo S. M., Nomura, Fausto, Blumstein, Daniel T.

“…Optimal escape theory predicts that animals should balance the costs and benefits of flight. One cost of not fleeing is the ongoing cost of monitoring an…”
