Social network analysis has achieved remarkable popularity in disease ecology, and is
sometimes carried out without investigating spatial heterogeneity. Many investigations into …

Spatial and social behaviour are fundamental aspects of an animal's biology, and their
social and spatial environments are indelibly linked through mutual causes and shared …

Individual decisions regarding how, why and when organisms interact with one another and
with their environment scale up to shape patterns and processes in communities. Recent …

GPS‐based tracking is widely used for studying wild social animals. Much like traditional
observational methods, using GPS devices requires making a number of decisions about …

The ongoing explosion of fine‐resolution movement data in animal systems provides a
unique opportunity to empirically quantify spatial, temporal and individual variation in …

The long‐term conservation of species at risk relies on numerous, and often concurrent,
management actions to support their recovery. Generally, these actions are habitat‐based …

Animal tracking data are being collected more frequently, in greater detail, and on smaller
taxa than ever before. These data hold the promise to increase the relevance of animal …

Ecologists have long been interested in linking individual behaviour with higher level
processes. For motile species, this 'upscaling'is governed by how well any given movement …

Motile organisms can form stable agglomerates such as cities or colonies. In the outbreak of
a highly contagious disease, the control of large-scale epidemic spread depends on factors …

Home ranges (HRs), the regions within which animals interact with their environment,
constitute a fundamental aspect of their ecology. HR sizes and locations commonly reflect …
