Memory is critical to understanding animal movement but has proven challenging to study.
Advances in animal tracking technology, theoretical movement models and cognitive …

Our capacity to predict patterns of animal movement behavior is limited by our
understanding of the underlying cognitive process. Determining what an animal knows …

Despite its central place in animal ecology no general mechanistic movement model with an
emergent home‐range pattern has yet been proposed. Random walk models, which are …

Home ranges (HRs) are a remarkably common form of animal space use, but we still lack an
integrated view of the individual-level processes that can lead to their emergence and …

An individual's choices are shaped by its experience, a fundamental property of behavior
important to understanding complex processes. Learning and memory are observed across …

This paper reviews spatial memory processes in three highly evolved taxa: hymenoptera,
birds and mammals. In these three taxa, the goal location can be memorized egocentrically …

Cognition, defined as the processes concerned with the acquisition, retention and use of
information, underlies animals' abilities to navigate their local surroundings, embark on long …

Moving and spatial learning are two intertwined processes:(a) changes in movement
behavior determine the learning of the spatial environment, and (b) information plays a …

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 …

The analysis of animal movement is a large and continuously growing field of research.
Detailed knowledge about movement strategies is of crucial importance for understanding …
