Extracting more out of relocation data: building movement models as mixtures of random walks

TL;DR: A framework for fitting multiple random walks to animal move- ment paths consisting of ordered sets of step lengths and turning angles, which allows for identification of different movement states using several properties of observed paths and lead naturally to the formulation of movement models.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Are there general mechanisms of animal home range behaviour? A review and prospects for future research

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in modelling home range behaviour focuses particularly on the problem of identifying mechanisms that lead to the emergence of stable home ranges from unbounded movement paths, and discusses the issue of spatiotemporal scale, which is rarely considered in modelling studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes and consequences of migration by large herbivores

TL;DR: Seasonal migration has important implications for the structure and dynamics of large herbivore communities and can have an important impact on the long-term persistence of plant-herbivore systems, particularly in areas with slow rates of vegetation regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forage Quality and Aggregation by Large Herbivores

TL;DR: Simulations based on the energy-intake model suggest a number of key environmental factors that should determine the impact of forage maturation and spatial variation on herbivore distribution patterns.
