Compass-controlled escape behavior in roe deer

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We tested the hypothesis that magnetic alignment, a tendency to align the body axis with a certain angle to the field lines of the geomagnetic field, provides direction indicator (the so-called nonsense orientation) also in mammals. We measured alignment of free-ranging (grazing or standing) roe deer and the compass direction of their escape trajectories as well as the direction from the threat and to the next shelter. Roe deer were significantly nonrandomly aligned along the north-south axis when grazing. In 188 provocations performed in open flat habitats, deer also tended to escape along this axis and avoided to escape westwards or eastwards. Thus, in many provocations (those from east or west), animals fled at wide angles, either northwards or southwards and not straight away from the threat, a strategy that would maximize the distance between the animal and the danger. Since all the factors which might influence direction of escape (sun position, wind direction, direction to the shelter, straigh
