Daily Evolution of the Insect Biomass Spectrum in an Agricultural Landscape Accessed with Lidar
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 We present measurements of atmospheric insect fauna intercepted by a static lidar transect over arable and pastoral land over one day. We observe nearly a quarter million of events which are calibrated to optical cross section.

Movement Ecology, 2018 Background Long-distance migration has evolved multiple times in different animal taxa. For insect migrants, the complete annual migration cycle covering several thousand kilometres, may be performed by several generations, each migrating part of the ...

L\'evy flights and self-similar exploratory behaviour of termite workers: beyond model fitting [PDF]
, 2014 Animal movements have been related to optimal foraging strategies where self-similar trajectories are central. Most of the experimental studies done so far have focused mainly on fitting statistical models to data in order to test for movement patterns ...

Validation of Contact Mats to Monitor Dairy Cow Contact with Stall Partitions
Animals, 2020 In indoor housing systems, repetitive contact with the stall partitions may reflect issues between the housing environment and the cow, by reducing the quality of rest and hindering ease of movement.

Mechanics of animal movement [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 The questions highlighted here cannot represent all the kinds of questions that biomechanists have asked about human and animal movement. In addition to the ones I have omitted, there must be many good questions that we have not yet thought of asking.

Spatial memory and animal movement [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2013 AbstractMemory is critical to understanding animal movement but has proven challenging to study. Advances in animal tracking technology, theoretical movement models and cognitive sciences have facilitated research in each of these fields, but also created a need for synthetic examination of the linkages between memory and animal movement. Here, we draw

New Litter Trap Devices Outperform Pitfall Traps for Studying Arthropod Activity
Insects, 2019 Soil fauna play a key role in nutrient cycling and decomposition, and in recent years, researchers have become more and more interested in this compartment of terrestrial ecosystems.

Usage of Specialized Fence-Gaps in a Black Rhinoceros Conservancy in Kenya [PDF]
, 2016 Fencing is increasingly used in wildlife conservation. Keeping wildlife segregated from local communities, while permitting wildlife access to the greater landscape matrix is a complex task.
