A partial migrant relies upon a range-wide cue set but uses population-specific weighting for migratory timing

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background Many birds species range over vast geographic regions and migrate seasonally between their breeding and overwintering sites. Deciding when to depart for migration is one of the most consequential life-history decisions an individual may make ...

Wing tags severely impair movement in African Cape Vultures

Animal Biotelemetry, 2021
Background The use of tracking technologies is key for the study of animal movement and pivotal to ecological and conservation research. However, the potential effects of devices attached to animals are sometimes neglected. The impact of tagging not only

Disentangling influence over group speed and direction reveals multiple patterns of influence in moving meerkat groups

Scientific Reports, 2022
Animals that travel together in groups must constantly come to consensus about both the direction and speed of movement, often simultaneously. Contributions to collective decisions may vary among group members, yet inferring who has influence over group ...
