A growing body of literature has documented myriad effects of human activities on animal
behaviour, yet the ultimate ecological consequences of these behavioural shifts remain …

Resource tracking, where animals increase energy gain by moving to track phenological
variation in resources across space, is emerging as a fundamental attribute of animal …

Social network analysis has achieved remarkable popularity in disease ecology, and is
sometimes carried out without investigating spatial heterogeneity. Many investigations into …

Environmentally transmitted diseases are comparatively poorly understood and managed,
and their ecology is particularly understudied. Here we identify challenges of studying …

Pathogen transmission depends on host density, mobility and contact. These components
emerge from host and pathogen movements that themselves arise through interactions with …

Infectious wildlife diseases that circulate at the interface with domestic animals pose
significant threats worldwide and require early detection and warning. Although animal …

The growing field of movement ecology uses high resolution movement data to analyze
animal behavior across multiple scales: from individual foraging decisions to population …

At least 10,000 species of mammal virus are estimated to have the potential to spread in
human populations, but the vast majority are currently circulating in wildlife, largely …

Background There is growing attention to individuality in movement, its causes and
consequences. Similarly to other well-established personality traits (eg, boldness or …

Disease models have provided conflicting evidence as to whether spatial heterogeneity
promotes or impedes pathogen persistence. Moreover, there has been limited theoretical …
