Increased availability of high-resolution movement data has led to the development of
numerous methods for studying changes in animal movement behavior. Path segmentation …

The use of animal-born sensors for location-based tracking and bio-logging in terrestrial
systems has expanded dramatically in the past 10 years. This rapid expansion has …

Migrating animals have an impact on ecosystems directly via influxes of predators, prey, and
competitors and indirectly by vectoring nutrients, energy, and pathogens. Although linkages …

Due to the potentially detrimental consequences of low performance in basic functional
tasks, individuals are expected to improve performance with age and show the most marked …

Each year, billions of flying and swimming migrants negotiate the challenging displacement
imposed by travelling through a flowing medium. However, little is known about how the …

Animal movement patterns in space and time are a central aspect of animal ecology.
Remotely-sensed environmental indices can play a key role in understanding movement …

Uncertainties regarding food location and quality are among the greatest challenges faced
by foragers and communal roosting may facilitate success through social foraging. The …

Natural selection theory suggests that mobile animals trade off time, energy and risk costs
with food, safety and other pay-offs obtained by movement. We examined how birds make …

The performance capabilities of flying animals reflect the interplay of biomechanical and
physiological constraints and evolutionary innovation. Of the two extant groups of …

Avian migrants often make substantial detours between their seasonal destinations. It is
likely some species do this to make the most of predictable wind regimes along their …
