Effects of temperature experienced across life stages on morphology and flight behavior of painted lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui)

open access: yesMovement Ecology
Background With ongoing anthropogenic climate change, there is increasing interest in how organisms are affected by higher temperatures, including how animals respond behaviorally to increasing temperatures.

An agent-based model of jaguar movement through conservation corridors

open access: yes, 2011
Wildlife corridors mitigate against habitat fragmentation by connecting otherwise isolated regions, bringing well established benefits to conservation both in principle and practice.

Foreword Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on on Animal Movement Ecology and Human Mobility, HANIMOB 2021

open access: yes, 2021
Movement ecology is a relatively new discipline in the field of ecology that studies the spatio-temporal patterns and processes at the basis of animal movement.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Travel specific resource selection by female Kodiak brown bears during the sockeye salmon spawning season

open access: yesMovement Ecology
Background Access to salmon resources is vital to coastal brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations. Deciphering patterns of travel allowing coastal brown bears to exploit salmon resources dispersed across the landscape is critical to understanding their ...

Arboreal route navigation in a Neotropical mammal: energetic implications associated with tree monitoring and landscape attributes

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2019
Background Although navigating along a network of routes might constrain animal movement flexibility, it may be an energetically efficient strategy. Routinely using the same route allows for visually monitoring of food resources, which might reduce the ...

Quantifying nutrient inputs by gulls to a fluctuating lake, aided by movement ecology methods

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, 2019
1. Eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is a global problem with major ecological and economic impacts. In many lakes and reservoirs, guanotrophication occurs when roosting waterbirds import nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from surrounding ...

Energy Landscapes Shape Animal Movement Ecology

open access: yesThe American Naturalist, 2013
The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in the natural, heterogeneous environment. Construction of "energy landscapes," which relate animal locality to the cost of transport, can clarify whether, to what extent, and how

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Hidden space use behaviors of a nonbreeding migratory bird: the role of environment and social context

open access: yesMovement Ecology
Background Movement behavior strongly mediates species and environment interactions, yet our understanding is constrained by challenges tracking space use at fine spatiotemporal resolutions.
