The flight zone is determined by the animal's flight distance, sometimes called flight initiation distance (FID) which extends horizontally from the animal and sometimes vertically. It may also be termed [citation needed] escape distance, alert distance, flush distance, and escape flight distance.
Studies have shown that it is physically possible for flying animals to reach 18-metre (59 ft) wingspans, but there is no firm evidence that any flying animal, not even the azhdarchid pterosaurs, got that large.
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.
25 sie 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.
21 lut 2017 · 131. 21K views 7 years ago. The flight zone is the animal’s safety zone, and its size varies depending on the animal’s degree of tameness. Excited, agitated animals have a larger flight...
3 maj 2014 · A standard measure of risk-taking is the distance at which animals flee from an approaching predator including humans, the so-called flight initiation distance (FID; Hediger, 1934; Burger & Gochfeld, 1981; Frid & Dill, 2002; Blumstein, 2006).
22 lut 2019 · Here, we propose that camouflage results in dichotomous escape behavior within and among species with classes of individuals and species with cryptic coloration having shorter flight initiation distances (FIDs; the distance at which an individual takes flight when approached by a human). We report the results of 2 tests of this hypothesis.
