Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Animal movement is essential to our understanding of population dynamics, animal
behavior, and the impacts of global change. Coupled with high-resolution biotelemetry data …

The processes that drive the ontogeny of migratory strategies in long‐lived animals with
slow maturation remain enigmatic. While some short‐lived migrants are known or believed …

Abstract The American sand lance (Ammodytes americanus, Ammodytidae) and the
Northern sand lance (A. dubius, Ammodytidae) are small forage fishes that play an important …

In animal ecology, a question of key interest for aquatic species is how changes in
movement behavior are related in the horizontal and vertical dimensions when individuals …

Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) were the first mammals to be protected by an Act of
Parliament in the UK and are currently protected under UK, Scottish, and EU conservation …

Investigation of activity budgets in relation to seasonal, intrinsic (age, sex) and extrinsic (time
of day, spatial) covariates enables an understanding of how such covariates shape …

The population size of many species, particularly those in the aquatic environment, cannot
be censused directly. Counts, during the breeding season, of one component of the …

Electronic telemetry is frequently used to document animal movement through time. Methods
that can identify underlying behaviors driving specific movement patterns can help us …

The number of scientific papers resulting from biologging instruments deployed on marine
mammals is increasing as improved technologies result in smaller devices and improved …
