The spatial scale of animal space use, eg measured as individual home range size, is a key
trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as …

The theoretical basis for understanding how human forager mobility should respond to
environmental change rests on two models: patch choice and the marginal value theorem …

Background Understanding how behavioural dynamics, inter-individual variability and
individual interactions scale-up to shape the spatial spread and dispersal of animal …

Understanding animal performance in heterogeneous or variable environments is a central
question in ecology. We combine modelling and experiments to test how temperature and …

Fruit bats (Pteropodidae) have received increased attention after the recent emergence of
notable viral pathogens of bat origin. Their vagility hinders data collection on abundance …

The Price equation partitions the change in the expected value of a population measure.
The first component describes the partial change caused by altered frequencies. The …

Increased environmental temperatures result in greater energy demands for ectotherms,
however, it is currently not clear if these energy demands can effectively be met by …

Foragers exploiting heterogeneous habitats must make strategic movement decisions in
order to maximize fitness. Foraging theory has produced very general formalizations of the …

Despite the wide usage of the term information in evolutionary ecology, there is no general
treatise between fitness (ie density‐dependent population growth) and selection of the …

Adaptive cognitive biases, such as “optimism,” may have evolved as heuristic rules for
computationally efficient decision-making, or as error-management tools when error payoff …
