Muscles and animal movement

2021
This chapter assesses muscular systems and animal locomotion. Animal movement and behaviour in the environment is powered by the pulling force produced by contracting muscles. The contractile apparatus in all muscles consists of myofibrils made up of myosin-containing and actin-containing filaments.

Of scales and stationarity in animal movements

Ecology Letters, 2013
AbstractWith recent technological advances in tracking devices, movements of numerous animal species can be recorded with a high resolution over large spatial and temporal ranges. This opens promising perspectives for understanding how an animal perceives and reacts to the multi‐scale structure of its environment.

Control of Movement Patterns in Animals

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1969
As a more junior Fellow of the same college in Cambridge as Sir Frederic Bartlett, I am especially glad of this opportunity to join with members of the Experimental Psychology Society in honouring him. It would be superfluous for me to speak here of Sir Frederic's academic achievements: so many of our members are engaged in research on problems which ...

Movement and Animation

2018
This chapter (“Movement and Animation”) examines the fundamental structures of self-movement and external movement perception. It considers the centrality of movement to animacy and the perception of animacy in living and non-living elements of one’s environment.

Incorporating behavior into animal movement modeling: a constrained agent-based model for estimating visit probabilities in space-time prisms

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2019
Animal movement is a dynamic spatio-temporal process. While trajectory data reflect the instantaneous animal position in space and time, other factors influence movement decisions between these observed positions.

Isotopic Tracking of Marine Animal Movement

Tracking Animal Migration with Stable Isotopes, 2019
The following chapter discusses in detail a wide variety of concepts, approaches, technologies, challenges, and recent trends in the field of marine migration ecology, so that researchers engaged in using stable isoptopes for animal tracking, can ...

Multi-scale Modeling of Animal Movement and General Behavior Data Using Hidden Markov Models with Hierarchical Structures

Journal of Agricultural Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2017
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are commonly used to model animal movement data and infer aspects of animal behavior. An HMM assumes that each data point from a time series of observations stems from one of N possible states. The states are loosely connected

Hydrodynamics of animal movement

1992
Abstract All organisms, whether plant or animal, terrestrial or aquatic, sessile or freely moving, large or small, experience now of fluid over and through external and internal structures. This flow can be an unwanted consequence of some other process that induces the flow, or generated purposefully for functional mechanisms. The forces
