Investigations of collective movement and animal communication have often followed
distinct, though complementary, trajectories. Both subfields are deeply concerned with how …

Graph theory (GT) has become an indispensable tool for exploring environmental
interconnections and elucidating ecological relationships. The integration of GT with …

The SMART-BARN (scalable multimodal arena for real-time tracking behavior of animals in
large numbers) achieves fast, robust acquisition of movement, behavior, communication …

Most animals confine their activities to a discrete home range, long assumed to reflect the
fitness benefits of obtaining spatial knowledge about the landscape. However, few empirical …

Quantifying and comparing patterns of dynamical ecological systems requires averaging
over measurable quantities. For example, to infer variation in movement and behavior …

Predation is a fundamental aspect of ecology that drives ecosystem structure and function. A
better understanding of predation can be facilitated by using electronic tags that log or …

In wildlife populations, parasites often go unnoticed, as infected animals appear
asymptomatic. However, these infections can subtly alter behaviour. Field evidence of how …

Background Movement is central to understanding the ecology of animals. The most robustly
definable segments of an individual's lifetime track are its diel activity routines (DARs). This …

Animal tracking has opened the door to address many fundamental questions in ecology
and conservation. Whilst historically animals have been tracked as a means to understand …

According to the information centre hypothesis (ICH), colonial species use social information
in roosts to locate ephemeral resources. Validating the ICH necessitates showing that …
