Journal ArticleDOI
A movement ecology paradigm for unifying organismal movement research
Ran Nathan,Wayne M. Getz,Eloy Revilla,Marcel Holyoak,Ronen Kadmon,David Saltz,Peter E. Smouse +6 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework depicting the interplay among four basic mechanistic components of organismal movement is introduced, providing a basis for hypothesis generation and a vehicle facilitating the understanding of the causes, mechanisms, and spatiotemporal patterns of movement and their role in various ecological and evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A patch-dynamics approach to savanna dynamics and woody plant encroachment – Insights from an arid savanna
TL;DR: It is proposed that woody plant encroachment is part of a cyclical succession between open savanna and woody dominance and is driven by two factors: rainfall that is highly variable in space and time, and inter-tree competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating animal behavior and conservation biology: a conceptual framework
TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed that identifies the key linkages between animal behavior and conservation biology and will help bridge the gap between the 2 disciplines and establish a common ground on which the field of conservation behavior can evolve and from which paradigms can be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for generating and analyzing movement paths on ecological landscapes.
Wayne M. Getz,David Saltz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that rather mild truncations of fat-tailed step-size distributions have a dramatic effect on dispersion of organisms, where such truncations naturally arise in real walks of organisms bounded by space and, more generally, influenced by the interactions of physiological, behavioral and ecological factors with landscape features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forging at Different Spatial Scales: Dorcas Gazelles Foraging for Lilies in the Negev Desert
David Ward,David Saltz +1 more
TL;DR: Congruent with optimal foraging predictions, the gazelles selected plants with more and larger leaves than randomly available, and concentrated their foraging activity in areas of highest lily densities, and there was a surprising negative correlation between the size of the plant and the amount eaten.
