AnimalTA: A highly flexible and easy‐to‐use program for tracking and analysing animal movement in different environments

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Computer programs for video tracking of animal movement are evolving increasingly efficient, using complex algorithms or artificial intelligence systems.

aniMotum, an R package for animal movement data: Rapid quality control, behavioural estimation and simulation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Animal tracking data are indispensable for understanding the ecology, behaviour and physiology of mobile or cryptic species. Meaningful signals in these data can be obscured by noise due to imperfect measurement technologies, requiring rigorous quality ...

Flexibility and Control of Circadian Activity, Migratory Restlessness and Fueling in Two Songbird Migrants

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Juvenile songbirds rely on an endogenous program, encoding direction, distance, fueling, and timing of migration. Migratory distance is species-specific, expressed as a period of migratory restlessness, for which the length is correlated with distance ...

How did the animal come to cross the road? Drawing insights on animal movement from existing roadkill data and expert knowledge

open access: yesLandscape Ecology, 2023
Animal movement through the landscape is essential to several ecological processes, assuring genetic flow, reproductive success and population dynamics.

Foraging on the wing for fish while migrating over changing landscapes: traveling behaviors vary with available aquatic habitat for Caspian terns

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2022
Background Birds that forage while covering distance during migration should adjust traveling behaviors as the availability of foraging habitat changes. Particularly, the behavior of those species that depend on bodies of water to find food yet manage to

Causes and consequences of individual variation in animal movement. [PDF]

open access: yesMov Ecol, 2020
Animal movement comes in a variety of ‘types’ including small foraging movements, larger one-way dispersive movements, seasonally-predictable round-trip migratory movements, and erratic nomadic movements.

Stochastic modelling of animal movement [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
Modern animal movement modelling derives from two traditions. Lagrangian models, based on random walk behaviour, are useful for multi-step trajectories of single animals. Continuous Eulerian models describe expected behaviour, averaged over stochastic realizations, and are usefully applied to ensembles of individuals.

Options for modulating intra-specific competition in colonial pinnipeds: the case of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Wadden Sea [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Colonial pinnipeds may be subject to substantial consumptive competition because they are large, slow-moving central place foragers. We examined possible mechanisms for reducing this competition by examining the diving behaviour of harbour seals (Phoca ...

The Movebank system for studying global animal movement and demography

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Quantifying movement and demographic events of free‐ranging animals is fundamental to studying their ecology, evolution and conservation. Technological advances have led to an explosion in sensor‐based methods for remotely observing these phenomena. This

The Cognitive Ecology of Animal Movement: Evidence From Birds and Mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Cognition, defined as the processes concerned with the acquisition, retention and use of information, underlies animals’ abilities to navigate their local surroundings, embark on long-distance seasonal migrations, and socially learn information relevant ...
