Simple individual-based models effectively represent Afrotropical forest bird movement in complex landscapes [PDF]
Reliable estimates of dispersal rates between habitat patches (i.e. functional connectivity) are critical for predicting long-term effects of habitat fragmentation on population persistence.

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 ...

Movement ecology of large herbivores in African savannas: current knowledge and gaps
Nearly 90% of the world's large herbivore diversity occurs in Africa, yet there is a striking dearth of information on the movement ecology of these organisms compared to herbivores living in higher latitude ecosystems.

Homogenization techniques for population dynamics in strongly heterogeneous landscapes [PDF]
An important problem in spatial ecology is to understand how population-scale patterns emerge from individual-level birth, death, and movement processes.

Overwintering aggregation patterns of European catfish Silurus glanis
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.

Grappling with movement models: performing arts and slippery contexts [PDF]
The ways we leave, recognise, and interpret marks of human movement are deeply entwined with layerings of collective memory. Although we retroactively order chronological sediments to map shareable stories, our remediations often emerge unpredictably

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

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
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 ...
