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 ...

Journal of Applied EcologyThe widespread impacts of roads on animal movement have led to the search for innovative mitigation tools. Wildlife crossing structures (tunnels or bridges) are a common approach; however, their effectiveness remains unclear beyond isolated case ...

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.

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

Long Distance Seed Dispersal by Forest Elephants
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 By dispersing seeds long distances, large, fruit-eating animals influence plant population spread and community dynamics. After fruit consumption, animal gut passage time and movement determine seed dispersal patterns and distances.

, 2015 Animal movement patterns in space and time are a central aspect of animal ecology. Remotely-sensed environmental indices can play a key role in understanding movement patterns by providing contiguous, relatively fine-scale data that link animal movements
