This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 6.1b Stotting in Thomson's Gazelle, Anti-Ambush Hypothesis which predicts that stotting will not occur on short-grass savannas but will instead be reserved for tall-grass or mixed grass-and-shrub habitats, where predator detection could be improved by jumping into the air., 6.1b "Stotting" in Thomson's Gazelles (provide a picture & cite below) deters predators, specifically cheetahs (solitary hunters), there are 5 alternative hypothesis including Anti-Ambush Hypothesis, there are 5 alternative hypothesis including Alarm Signal Hypothesis, Social Cohesion Hypothesis which predicts Gazelles stot to attract other gazelles to join them., Attack Deterrence Hypothesis which predicts Gazelles stot to signal to a predator that they have plenty of energy and so they will be hard to capture., there are 5 alternative hypothesis including Confusion Effect Hypothesis, there are 5 alternative hypothesis including Attack Deterrence Hypothesis, there are 5 alternative hypothesis including Social Cohesion Hypothesis, Confusion Effect Hypothesis which predicts if several gazelles stot simultaneously in a group while fleeing, then the predator may become confused., Alarm Signal Hypothesis which predicts that a lone gazelle will not stot as stotting should occur when gazelles communicate with one another, predators, specifically cheetahs (solitary hunters) For which there are 5 alternative hypothesis
