Unpredictability of escape trajectory explains predator evasion ability and microhabitat preference of desert rodents

Biomechanical understanding of animal gait and maneuverability has primarily been limited to species with more predictable, steady-state movement patterns. Here, the authors develop a method to quantify movement predictability, and apply the method to study escape-related movement in several species...
