Big-data approaches lead to an increased understanding of the ecology of animal movement
Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and
thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and …

A guide for studying among-individual behavioral variation from movement data in the wild
Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

What's your move? Movement as a link between personality and spatial dynamics in animal populations
Recent studies have established the ecological and evolutionary importance of animal
personalities. Individual differences in movement and space‐use, fundamental to many …

Quantifying levels of animal activity using camera trap data
Activity level (the proportion of time that animals spend active) is a behavioural and
ecological metric that can provide an indicator of energetics, foraging effort and exposure to …

Beyond spatial overlap: harnessing new technologies to resolve the complexities of predator–prey interactions
Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Roles of raptors in a changing world: from flagships to providers of key ecosystem services
Birds of prey have been, in comparison to other avian groups, an uncommon study model,
mainly due to the limitations imposed by their conservative life strategy (low population …

Energy landscapes shape animal movement ecology
The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory
conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in …

Observing the unwatchable through acceleration logging of animal behavior
Behavior is an important mechanism of evolution and it is paid for through energy
expenditure. Nevertheless, field biologists can rarely observe animals for more than a …
