Forecasting wildlife movement with spatial capture–recapture
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Wildlife movement is an important process affecting species population biology and community interactions in myriad ways. Studies of wildlife movement have focused on retrospectively estimating movements of small numbers of individuals by outfitting them

Eye movements and attention for behavioural animation [PDF]
The Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, 2002 AbstractThis paper describes a simulation of attention behaviour aimed at computer‐animated characters. Attention is the focusing of a person's perception on a particular object. This is useful for computer animation as it determines which objects the character is aware of: information that can be used in the simulation of the character's behaviour in ...

Recognising human and animal movement by symmetry [PDF]
Proceedings 2001 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat. No.01CH37205), 2002 We show how the symmetry of motion can be extracted by using the generalised symmetry operator for analysing motion and for gait recognition. This operator, rather than relying on the borders of a shape or on general appearance, locates features by their symmetrical properties.

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 We investigate theoretically the ballistic motion of small legged insects and legless larvae after a jump. Notwithstanding their completely different morphologies and jumping strategies, some legged and legless animals have convergently evolved to jump ...

Search Foraging Strategies of Migratory Raptors Under Different Environmental Conditions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Several studies have shown in different organisms how their movements can be fitted to different patterns to optimize search of food resources. According to abundance and availability of resources, different strategies will be optimal, such as Lévy and ...

Accelerometer‐informed GPS telemetry: Reducing the trade‐off between resolution and longevity
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Tracking animal movement using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is an increasingly popular method for studying animal ecology, behavior, and conservation. To date, most GPS location schedules have been set at regular intervals. If intervals are
