Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements

Marlee A. Tucker, +135 more
- 26 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resource Selection Functions Based on Use-Availability Data: Theoretical Motivation and Evaluation Methods

TL;DR: A new validation method is concluded for evaluating predictive performance of a RSF and for assessing if the model deviates from being proportional to the probability of use of a resource unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Building the bridge between animal movement and population dynamics

TL;DR: The way animals move has important consequences for the degree of mixing that the authors expect to find both within a population and between individuals of different species, and as most animals revisit some places and avoid others based on their previous experiences, they foresee the incorporation of long-term memory and intention in movement models.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population

TL;DR: This study provides comprehensive evidence that montane ungulate migration leads to greater access to higher-quality forage relative to nonmigratory congeners, as predicted by the forage maturation hypothesis, resulting primarily from large-scale selection patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling wildlife–human relationships for social species with mixed‐effects resource selection models

TL;DR: The approach provides a unifying framework to understand the contradictory results of previous studies of wolf-human relationships and a template for future studies to evaluate effects of increas ing human activity on wildlife.
