Consistency in the flight and visual orientation distances of habituated chacma baboons after an observed leopard predation. Do flight initiation distance methods always measure perceived predation risk? (2021)
Journal Article

Flight initiation distance (FID) procedures are used to assess the risk perception animals have for threats (e.g., natural predators, hunters), but it is unclear whether these assessments remain meaningful if animals have habituated to certain human...

Definition and interpretation effects: How different vigilance definitions can produce varied results (2021)
Journal Article

Animals use vigilance to detect or monitor threats. While numerous aspects of vigilance have been studied across a wide range of species, little work has explored the methodological variation that has emerged across these studies. Different approache... Read More about Definition and interpretation effects: How different vigilance definitions can produce varied results.

Extent of threat detection depends on predator type and behavioral context in wild samango monkey groups (2021)
Journal Article
LaBarge, L. R., Allan, A. T. L., Berman, C. M., Hill, R. A., & Margulis, S. W. (2021). Extent of threat detection depends on predator type and behavioral context in wild samango monkey groups. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 75, Article 13. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-020-02959-1

Detecting predators requires information, and many behavioral and environmental features are predicted to enhance or limit an animal’s ability to learn about potential danger. Animals living in groups are thought to be at an advantage for learning ab... Read More about Extent of threat detection depends on predator type and behavioral context in wild samango monkey groups.
