Median values and range of the four movement metrics used to describe movement paths of red deer in the National Estate of Chambord, France, 2016–2018.

All these metrics were obtained using data from GPS collars (based on one location every other minute for the first three and one location every hour for the fourth). Values were then calculated for the two groups of individuals: (a) ‘staying’ (32%) and (b) ‘fleeing’ (68%) discriminated based on the immediate phase of their response (i.e. whether the individual crossed the shooting line and moved out of the hunted area during the drive hunt or not).
