Failure of captive-born greater rheas (Rhea americana, Rheidae, Aves) to discriminate between predator and nonpredator models (2012)
Journal Article
de Azevedo, C., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2012). Failure of captive-born greater rheas (Rhea americana, Rheidae, Aves) to discriminate between predator and nonpredator models. Acta ethologica, 15, 179-185. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10211-012-0124-2The capacity to recognize and respond to predators can be lost by captive animals. Habituation to humans caused by the captive environment can be transferred to other stimuli, such as predators, a situation that conservation biologists wish to avoid....
