Does migratory distance affect fuelling in a medium-distance passerine migrant?: results from direct and step-wise simulated magnetic displacements

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
In birds, fat accumulation before and during migration has been shown to be endogenously controlled and tuned by, among other factors, the Earth's magnetic field.

Overwintering aggregation patterns of European catfish Silurus glanis

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2023
Animal aggregation, particularly in large-bodied species, is both a fascinating and intriguing phenomenon. Here we analyzed the overwintering behavior of the European catfish, Silurus glanis Linnaeus, 1758, the largest freshwater fish in Europe.

Bats seek refuge in cluttered environment when exposed to white and red lights at night

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2021
Background Artificial light at night is recognized as an increasing threat to biodiversity. However, information on the way highly mobile taxa such as bats spatially respond to light is limited. Following the hypothesis of a behavioural adaptation to the

Geographic origin and migration phenology of European red admirals (Vanessa atalanta) as revealed by stable isotopes

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2018
Background Long-distance migration has evolved multiple times in different animal taxa. For insect migrants, the complete annual migration cycle covering several thousand kilometres, may be performed by several generations, each migrating part of the ...

Identifying resting locations of a small elusive forest carnivore using a two-stage model accounting for GPS measurement error and hidden behavioral states

open access: yesMovement 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.

Using movement to inform conservation corridor design for Mojave desert tortoise

open access: yesMovement 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 ...

Simulation experiment to test strategies of geomagnetic navigation during long-distance bird migration

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2021
Background Different theories suggest birds may use compass or map navigational systems associated with Earth’s magnetic intensity or inclination, especially during migratory flights.

An emerging movement ecology paradigm [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Temperature and microclimate refugia use influence migratory timings of a threatened grassland bird

open access: yesMovement 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
