The Ca2+/calmodulin/CaMKK2 axis: nature's metabolic CaMshaft
Calcium (Ca 2+) is an essential ligand that binds its primary intracellular receptor calmodulin
(CaM) to trigger a variety of downstream processes and pathways. Central to the actions of …

Coupling movement and landscape ecology for animal conservation in production landscapes
Habitat conversion in production landscapes is among the greatest threats to biodiversity,
not least because it can disrupt animal movement. Using the movement ecology framework …

Memory and resource tracking drive blue whale migrations
In terrestrial systems, the green wave hypothesis posits that migrating animals can enhance
foraging opportunities by tracking phenological variation in high-quality forage across space …

Spatial memory predicts home range size and predation risk in pheasants
Most animals confine their activities to a discrete home range, long assumed to reflect the
fitness benefits of obtaining spatial knowledge about the landscape. However, few empirical …

Memory, not just perception, plays an important role in terrestrial mammalian migration
One of the key questions regarding the underlying mechanisms of mammalian land
migrations is how animals select where to go. Most studies assume perception of resources …

Learning and animal movement
Integrating diverse concepts from animal behavior, movement ecology, and machine
learning, we develop an overview of the ecology of learning and animal movement …

Experimental evidence of memory-based foraging decisions in a large wild mammal
Many animals restrict their movements to a characteristic home range. This constrained
pattern of space use is thought to result from the foraging benefits of memorizing the …

Open problems in PDE models for knowledge-based animal movement via nonlocal perception and cognitive map**
H Wang, Y Salmaniw - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2023 - Springer
The inclusion of cognitive processes, such as perception, learning and memory, are
inevitable in mechanistic animal movement modelling. Cognition is the unique feature that …

Phase transition in a non-markovian animal exploration model with preferential returns
We study a non-Markovian and nonstationary model of animal mobility incorporating both
exploration and memory in the form of preferential returns. Exact results for the probability of …

Perceptual ranges, information gathering, and foraging success in dynamic landscapes
How organisms gather and utilize information about their landscapes is central to
understanding land-use patterns and population distributions. When such information …
