The advent of miniaturized biologging devices has provided ecologists with unprecedented
opportunities to record animal movement across scales, and led to the collection of ever …

The recently developed Brownian bridge movement model (BBMM) has advantages over
traditional methods because it quantifies the utilization distribution of an animal based on its …

The forage-maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that herbivores migrate along a
phenological gradient of plant development in order to maximize energy intake. Despite …

Migration is an adaptive life‐history strategy across taxa that helps individuals maximise
fitness by obtaining forage and avoiding predation risk. The mechanisms driving migratory …

Billions of animals migrate to track seasonal pulses in resources. Optimally timing migration
is a key strategy, yet the ability of animals to compensate for phenological mismatches en …

Background Global positioning system (GPS) technology for monitoring home range and
movements of wildlife has resulted in prohibitively large sample sizes of locations for …

Conservation of migration requires information on behavior and environmental
determinants. The spatial distribution of forage resources, which migration exploits, often are …

Home range estimators are a critical component for understanding animal spatial ecology.
The choice of home range estimator in spatial ecology studies can significantly influence …

In northern climates, spring is a time of rapid environmental change: for migrating terrestrial
animals, melting snow facilitates foraging and travel, and newly emergent vegetation …

Grasslands are among the most imperiled ecosystems in North America. Reasons that
grasslands are threatened include conversion to row-crop agriculture, fragmentation, and …
