Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and
thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and …

Since the first studies in the mid-twentieth century, lightweight electronic tracking devices
have been increasingly used to study waterfowl movements. With half a century of …

Dabbling ducks (Anatinae) are omnivorous birds that are widespread, numerous, highly
mobile and often migratory, and therefore have great potential for (long distance) dispersal …

Background Spatio-temporal patterns of movement can characterize relationships between
organisms and their surroundings, and address gaps in our understanding of species …

Dispersal via animals (zoochory) is a primary mechanism for seed exchange between
habitat patches. Recent studies have established that many plant species can survive …

The equilibrium theorem provided a fundamental framework for understanding species'
distributions and movement in fragmented ecosystems. Wetland-dependent avian species …

The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is a focal species in game management, epidemiology
and ornithology, but comparably little research has focused on the ecology of the migration …

Background Movement behaviour is fundamental to the ecology of animals and their
interactions with other organisms, and as such contributes to ecosystem dynamics …

Plant populations in fragmented ecosystems rely largely on internal dispersal by animals. To
unravel the mechanisms underlying this mode of dispersal, an increasing number of …

Human transport and active dispersal of the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)
contribute to its rapid spread. However, some small aquatic organisms can be transported …
