TL;DR: This is a list of winners and nominees for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

TL;DR: The contributions of movement ecology in disease research are synthesised, with a particular focus on studies that have successfully used movement-based methods to quantify individual heterogeneity in exposure and transmission risk.

TL;DR: The protection of parasitic biodiversity requires a paradigm shift in the perception and valuation of their role as consumer species, similar to that of apex predators in the mid‐20th century, and an extension of population viability analysis for host–parasite assemblages to assess extinction risk is proposed.

TL;DR: The results offer early indication of widespread recurrent patterns in movement ecology that have consistent statistical signatures, regardless of taxon, body size, mode of movement, or environment, and show that a simple set of metrics can be used to classify broad-scale movement patterns in disparate vertebrate taxa.

TL;DR: This review provides for the Geographical Information Sciences (GIS) community an overview of the most common movement metrics and methods of analysis employed by animal ecologists and emphasizes the potential for movement analyses to promote transdisciplinary GIS/wildlife-ecology research.
