Animal movement has been the focus on much theoretical and empirical work in ecology
over the last 25 years. By studying the causes and consequences of individual movement …

Multi-scale studies ostensibly allow us to form generalizations regarding the importance of
scale in understanding ecosystem function, and in the application of the same ecological …

Habitat selection is the disproportionate use of available conditions and resources, and
involves responses in space and time to perceived risks and rewards. It frequently depends …

We present a framework for fitting multiple random walks to animal movement paths
consisting of ordered sets of step lengths and turning angles. Each step and turn is assigned …

Recent theory suggests that animals should switch facultatively among canonical movement
modes as a complex function of internal state, landscape characteristics, motion capacity …

Most physiological and ecological approaches to animal locomotion are based on steady
state assumptions, yet movements of many animals are interspersed with pauses lasting …

Identifying the foraging habitat of marine predators is vital to understanding the ecology of
these species and for their management and conservation. Foraging habitat for many …

The function of social calls emitted by foraging bats has received little study. Here we use
observations of free-ranging greater spear-nosed bats, Phyllostomus hastatus, and field …

Summary 1 Most studies of animal movements and habitat selection do not recognize
empirically that different components of the environment are important to animals at different …

1. Foraging behaviour of Antarctic fur seals rearing pups at Bird Island, South Georgia, was
assessed using at-sea activity patterns measured by electronic time-depth recorders …
