Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and respective shutdowns dramatically altered human activities, potentially changing pressures on urban-dwelling animals. Here, we use such COVID-19-induced variation in presence to evaluate, across multiple temporal scales, how urban birds from five countries changed their tolerance towards humans, measured as escape distance. We collected 6369 responses for 147 species found that numbers parks at a given hour, day, week or year (before during shutdowns) had little effect birds’ distances. All effects centered around zero, except the actual trial (hourly scale) correlated negatively, albeit weakly, with results were similar most species. Our highlight resilience of changes complexities linking animal fear behavior, challenge quantifying both simultaneously situ.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, many people around world stayed home, drastically altering human activity in cities. This exceptional moment provided researchers opportunity to test how urban animals respond disturbance, some cases testing fundamental questions on mechanistic impact of behaviours animal behaviour. However, at end this 'anthropause', returned How might each these strong shifts affect wildlife short and long term? We focused fear response, a trait essential tolerating life. measured flight initiation distance-at both individual population levels-for an bird before, during after anthropause examine if birds experienced longer-term changes year half lowered presence. Dark-eyed juncos did not change levels anthropause, but they became less fearful afterwards. These surprising counterintuitive findings, made possible by following behaviour individuals over time, has led novel understanding that response can be driven plasticity, yet habituation-like processes. The pandemic-caused have shown there is great complexity humans modify behavioural tolerance animals.

Urbanization induces homogenization and changes the behavioural patterns of various bird species, thereby facilitating coexistence prompting adaptations to disturbances in urban environments. However, there is limited research on influence how urbanization affects tolerance towards humans, especially developing sub-tropical regions such as Nepal, which undergoing rapid unplanned urbanization. This study identified flight initiation distance (FID) a proxy for assessing tolerance. We focused evaluating human levels 33 species using their FIDs rural habitats within Kathmandu Valley, rapidly urbanizing city South Asia. found higher birds than conspecifics, varies mainly with dietary guild season. The positive impact FID was associated time day body size, while negative association observed flock mean population density humans interaction between size elevation. Our highlights increased level areas, probably owing habituation, emphasizes imperative need investigate potential adverse effect this level.

Introduced species can represent quasi-experimental, anthropogenic case studies of both ecological and evolutionary principles. When these are firmly established, competitive interactions between native introduced interactions, including foraging, spacing, breeding competition, may be among the costs incurred from such invasions. In turn, genetic and/or plasticity-driven changes in behavior morphology could also take place invading with increasing introduction lag (time since onset introduction). Critically, however, is difficult to study any single non-native population without long-term observations, and, instead, it requires geographically repeated measures focal response variables across invasive populations that were at different times. Here we tested a priori predictors predator-avoidance behaviors through flight initiation distance (FID) assay widely distributed bird species, common myna Acridotheres tristis . The was extensively consistently sampled throughout most its independently ranges all hemispheres. FID increased greater lag. We detected additional functional patterns towards rural range within continuous metric urban-rural gradient shorter distances Equator. Any robust must include proximate as well accordingly, found starting distance, lower immediate human density, flighted over walking escape responses, heights bird’s perch above ground but unrelated group size. Respectively, factors informative about sensory cues triggering anti-predator mynas imply an adaptive set responses this species. Control should into account their extensive behavioral cognitive flexibilities adjust planned management methods accordingly.
