Multiple preferred escape trajectories are explained by a geometric model incorporating prey’s turn and predator attack endpoint

The escape trajectory (ET) of prey – measured as the angle relative to the predator’s approach path – plays a major role in avoiding predation. Previous geometric models predict a single ET; however, many species show highly variable ETs with multiple preferred directions. Although such a high ET va...
