Civil war is associated with longer escape distances among Sri Lankan birds - flight-initiation distances of Sri Lankan birds
<p>War influences wildlife in a variety of ways but may influence their escape responses to approaching threats, including humans, because of its effect on human populations and behaviour, and landscape change. We collected 1,400 Flight-Initiation Distances (FIDs) from 157 bird species in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, where civil war raged for 26 years, ending in 2009. Accounting for factors known to influence FIDs (phylogeny, starting distance of approaches, body mass, prevailing human density, group size and location), we found birds have longer FIDs in the part of the dry zone which experienced civil war. Larger birds, often preferred by human hunters, showed greater increases in FID in the war zone, consistent with the idea that war was associated with greater hunting pressure, that larger birds experienced longer-lasting trauma, or had more plastic escape behaviour, than smaller species. While the mechanisms linking the war and avian escape responses remain ambiguous, wars evidently leave legacies which extend to behavioural responses in birds.</p>

Nocturnal Flight-initiation Distances
<p>This repository presents videos of approaches to mammals and birds by night to determine their flight-initiation distance (FID). No white or infra-red light is used. Some are “first person”, videoed by the approacher for the purpose of demonstrating an approach, some are videoed by the observer who remains at the starting location. Where observers “overshoot” the flight, these are subsequently corrected by the observer, but this last correction is not necessarily in all of the presented videos because some stop after flight of the focal animal. Some videos show minor corrections to direction of the approacher by radio. Finally, videos are shot zoomed out to capture both approacher and focal animal within the same frame, typically the observer would zoom in tighter on the focal animal during an approach. </p>
