Table 3.

A comparison of the distance traveled, speed, and time until being caught by the owl with/without shelter. The distance (m/min) describes the metric distance traveled by the rodent in each phase, comprising locomoting and non-locomoting periods. However, since the duration of phases was different for each rodent, data are "normalized" per minute of observation. This measure is not interchangeable with speed (m/sec) that refers only to the locomoting periods, and was calculated by dividing the distance traveled with the duration of traveling that distance (excluding all non-locomoting periods).

Behavior	Phase of owl attack	Without shelter	With shelter
Distance traveled (m./min.)	Pre-appearance	4.32 ± 1.6	4.16 ± 1.62
	Appearance	1.80 ± 1.7	0.36 ± 0.68
	Attack	27.6 ± 6.0	52.3 ± 6.8
	Post-attack	15.04 ± 4.24	5.6 ± 2.07
Speed (m/sec)	Pre-appearance	0.37 ± 0.46	0.54 ± 0.01
	Appearance	0.82 ± 0.78	0.54 ± 0.05
	Attack	0.65 ± 0.93	0.83 ± 0.86
	Post-attack	0.96 ± 0.66	0.58 ± 0.02
Time until being caught (min)		38.3 ± 6.8	83 ± 28.7
