Abstract:With increased urbanization, more habitats will become less suitable for wildlife, increasing the perceived risk of predation among wildlife. The animals’ perception of predation is usually measured using flight initiation distance (FID). Further, several internal and external factors influence the FID. However, there is still ambiguity on whether these variables influence the FID, as some studies have different results in different geographical locations. This study was undertaken to understand (i) the ’influ… Show more
