BACKGROUND The movement of animals makes them fascinating but difficult study
subjects. Animal movements underpin many biological phenomena, and understanding …

Increased availability of high-resolution movement data has led to the development of
numerous methods for studying changes in animal movement behavior. Path segmentation …

Habitats have substantial influence on the distribution and abundance of animals. Animals'
selective movement yields their habitat use. Animals generally are more abundant in …

Context Dispersal plays a key role in linking populations, habitat (re)-colonization, and
species range expansion. As fragmentation and habitat loss are ubiquitous threats and can …

Aim Several large‐mammal species in Europe have recovered and recolonized parts of their
historical ranges. Knowing where suitable habitat exists, and thus where range expansions …

Background The movement extent of mammals is influenced by human-modified areas,
which can affect population demographics. Understanding how human infrastructure …

Dispersal is a critical, but costly, stage of life. During the active phase of dispersal—called
transience—individuals face many costs, from increased mortality to reduced foraging …

Landscape connectivity is an important component of systematic conservation planning.
Step‐selection functions (SSFs) is a highly promising method for connectivity modeling …

Context Connectivity assessments typically rely on resistance surfaces derived from habitat
models, assuming that higher-quality habitat facilitates movement. This assumption remains …

Animals select their habitat along environmental gradients, but the mechanisms that
constrain the ecological requirements of an individual can differ between life stages …
