Detecting seasonal episodic-like spatiotemporal memory patterns using animal movement modelling
Download2021-01-01
Peter R. Thompson, Andrew E. Derocher, Mark A. Edwards, Mark A. Lewis
Spatial memory plays a role in the way animals perceive their environments, resulting in memory-informed movement patterns that are observable to ecologists. Developing mathematical techniques to understand how animals use memory in their environments allows for an increased understanding of...

Organisms are constantly making tradeoffs. These tradeoffs may be behavioural (e.g., whether to focus on foraging or predator avoidance) or physiological (e.g., whether to allocate energy to reproduction or growth). Similarly, wildlife and fisheries managers must make tradeoffs while striving for...

Animals must balance a series of costs and benefits while trying to maximize their fitness. For example, an individual may need to choose how much energy to allocate to reproduction versus growth, or how much time to spend on vigilance versus foraging. Their decisions depend on complex...
