Emerging Perspectives on Resource Tracking and Animal Movement Ecology.

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Resource tracking, where animals increase energy gain by moving to track phenological variation in resources across space, is emerging as a fundamental attribute of animal movement ecology.

The r package enerscape: A general energy landscape framework for terrestrial movement ecology

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Ecological processes and biodiversity patterns are strongly affected by how animals move through the landscape. However, it remains challenging to predict animal movement and space use.

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.

Disturbance and fragmentation impacts movement ecology of a habitat specialist: conservation implications for red pandas

open access: yes, 2022
Increasing anthropogenic activities are transforming landscapes and wildlife living in affected areas have to cope with several challenges. Failure to adapt to those challenges may lead to local population extirpation or even extinction of the species ...

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.

Radionuclide movement in an ecological chain

open access: yesEcotoxicology 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

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

Ponds as experimental arenas for studying animal movement: current research and future prospects [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2023
Animal movement is a multifaceted process that occurs for multiple reasons with powerful consequences for food web and ecosystem dynamics. New paradigms and technical innovations have recently pervaded the field, providing increasingly powerful means to ...

Movement and habitat selection of a large carnivore in response to human infrastructure differs by life stage [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2022
BackgroundThe movement extent of mammals is influenced by human-modified areas, which can affect population demographics. Understanding how human infrastructure influences movement at different life stages is important for wildlife management.
