Movement Ecology, 2021 Background Studies of animal movement using location data are often faced with two challenges. First, time series of animal locations are likely to arise from multiple behavioral states (e.g., directed movement, resting) that cannot be observed directly.

An emerging movement ecology paradigm [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Movement of individual organisms, one of the most fundamental features of life on Earth, is a crucial component of almost any ecological and evolutionary process, including major problems associated with habitat fragmentation, climate change, biological invasions, and the spread of pests and diseases.

Using movement to inform conservation corridor design for Mojave desert tortoise
Movement Ecology, 2020 Background Preserving corridors for movement and gene flow among populations can assist in the recovery of threatened and endangered species. As human activity continues to fragment habitats, characterizing natural corridors is important in establishing ...

Radionuclide movement in an ecological chain
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1978 Abstract Radioactive substances create a considerable hazard, as they move through the environment of man and form an ecological chain. The first link of this chain is atmosphere; the next links are formed by water, soil, plants and animals. At the end of the chain is man.

Temperature and microclimate refugia use influence migratory timings of a threatened grassland bird
Movement Ecology, 2023 Background Seasonal changes in resource availability are known to influence the migratory behaviour of animals, including both timing and distance. While the influence of environmental cues on migratory behaviour has been widely studied at the population

Movement patterns of female Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) during the denning season across Europe [PDF]
, 2023 reservedMovement and reproductive behavior play an important role in ecological and evolutionary processes involving large carnivores. During the initial period after birth, the behavior of breeding females changes in order to adapt to the cubs needs ...

Movement predictability of individual barn owls facilitates estimation of home range size and survival. [PDF]
, 2023 There is growing attention to individuality in movement, its causes and consequences. Similarly to other well-established personality traits (e.g., boldness or sociability), conspecifics also differ repeatedly in their spatial behaviors, forming ...

Scaling up and down: movement ecology for microorganisms [PDF]
, 2022 Movement is critical for the fitness of organisms, both large and small. It dictates how individuals acquire resources, evade predators, exchange genetic material, and respond to stressful environments.
