Similar research conducted in other human-dominated
regions would be extremely useful in expanding and clarifying our
understanding of how tigers behaviorally respond to humans at
fine spatiotemporal scales. For instance, it would be important to
address some questions. What energetic costs to tigers are associated
with temporal displacement (e.g., decreased hunting success
at night)? Are there disturbance thresholds (thresholds are
given in ref. 44) beyond which tigers dramatically alter their
spatial and temporal behavior?What effects do behavioral changes
in space and time have on tiger population persistence?
