Linking movement ecology with wildlife management and conservation
A common challenge in species conservation and management is how to incorporate
species movements into management objectives. There often is a lack of knowledge of …

Wind turbines cause functional habitat loss for migratory soaring birds
Wind energy production has expanded to meet climate change mitigation goals, but
negative impacts of wind turbines have been reported on wildlife. Soaring birds are among …

What is the animal doing? Tools for exploring behavioural structure in animal movements
Movement data provide a window–often our only window–into the cognitive, social and
biological processes that underlie the behavioural ecology of animals in the wild. Robust …

Navigating through the r packages for movement
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 …

Analysis and visualisation of movement: an interdisciplinary review
The processes that cause and influence movement are one of the main points of enquiry in
movement ecology. However, ecology is not the only discipline interested in movement: a …

Animal behavior, cost-based corridor models, and real corridors
Corridors are popular conservation tools because they are thought to allow animals to safely
move between habitat fragments, thereby maintaining landscape connectivity. Nonetheless …

Home range plus: a space-time characterization of movement over real landscapes
Background Advances in GPS technology have created both opportunities in ecology as
well as a need for analytical tools that can deal with the growing volume of data and …

Telemetry and random‐walk models reveal complex patterns of partial migration in a large marine predator
Animals are often faced with complex movement decisions, particularly those that involve
long‐distance dispersal. Partial migrations, ubiquitous among all groups of vertebrates, are …

A framework for understanding semi‐permeable barrier effects on migratory ungulates
Impermeable barriers to migration can greatly constrain the set of possible routes and
ranges used by migrating animals. For ungulates, however, many forms of development are …
