Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to
econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous …

Habitats have substantial influence on the distribution and abundance of animals. Animals'
selective movement yields their habitat use. Animals generally are more abundant in …

As habitat loss and fragmentation increase across ungulate ranges, identifying and
prioritizing migration routes for conservation has taken on new urgency. Here we present a …

Numerous neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders are associated with deficits in
executive functions such as working memory and cognitive flexibility. Progress in developing …

Because of the heterogeneity of natural landscapes, animals have to move through various
types of areas that are more or less suitable with respect to their current needs. The …

Within the rapidly developing field of movement ecology, much attention has been given to
studying the movement of individuals within a subset of their population's occupied range …

Aim Resources can shape patterns of habitat utilization. Recently a broad foraging
dichotomy between oceanic and coastal sites has been revealed for loggerhead sea turtles …

There is long-standing scientific interest in understanding purposeful movement by animals
and humans. Traditionally, collecting data on individual moving entities was difficult and time …

Within a landscape where prey has an aggregated distribution, predators can take
advantage of the spatial autocorrelation of prey density and intensify their search effort in …

Summary 1 In order to study and predict population distribution, it is crucial to identify and
understand factors affecting individual movement decisions at different scales. Movements …
