Animal movement comes in a variety of 'types' including small foraging movements, larger
one-way dispersive movements, seasonally-predictable round-trip migratory movements …

Migrations, ie the recurring, roundtrip movement of animals between distant and distinct
habitats, occur among diverse metazoan taxa. Although traditionally linked to avoidance of …

Studies of animal locomotion and movement largely assume that individuals are healthy and
performing to the best of their abilities in ways which are adapted to their survival. However …

The geographic range of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is expanding northward
from the United States into southern Canada, and studies suggest that the lone star tick …

Individual differences in contact rate can arise from host, group and landscape
heterogeneity and can result in different patterns of spatial spread for diseases in wildlife …

Seabirds have recently been experiencing high rates of mortality across wide scales due to
highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). During breeding, seabird populations are highly …

Migratory animals are simultaneously challenged by the physiological demands of long-
distance movements and the need to avoid natural enemies including parasites and …

Animal movement and population connectivity are key areas of uncertainty in efforts to
understand and predict the spread of infectious disease. The emergence of highly …

Compared to other animal movements, prospecting by adult individuals for a future breeding
site is commonly overlooked. Prospecting influences the decision of where to breed and has …

Understanding host–pathogen dynamics requires realistic consideration of transmission
