The boreal ecotype of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is federally listed as Threatened due to population declines throughout its distribution. High mortality rates of neonate calves (≤ 4 weeks old) due to predation are a key demographic factor contributing to population declines...

This thesis deals with finding design points for nonlinear regression models with the possibility that the fitted model is incorrect. The information matrix depends on the parameter in nonlinear situations. We have assumed a range of values of the parameter and have specified a prior on the...

Detecting minimum energy states and multi-stability in nonlocal advection–diffusion models for interacting species

Valeria Giunta, Thomas Hillen, Mark A. Lewis, Jonathan R. Potts
Deriving emergent patterns from models of biological processes is a core concern of mathematical biology. In the context of partial differential equations, these emergent patterns sometimes appear as local minimisers of a corresponding energy functional. Here we give methods for determining the...

Searching allows animals to find food, mates, shelter and other resources essential for survival and reproduction and is thus among the most important activities performed by animals. Theory predicts that animals will use random search strategies in highly variable and unpredictable environments....

A large volume of literature exists on fault detection and isolation for industrial processes. In a general view, these various methods may be divided into process model based and process history based fault diagnosis. In both classes, there has been a recent focus on extracting the temporal...

The persistence of forest-dependent species in fragmented landscapes is fundamentally linked to the movement of individuals among subpopulations. The paths taken by dispersing individuals can be considered a series of steps built from individual route choices. Despite the importance of these...

The traditional models used to characterize animal home ranges have no mechanistic basis underlying their descriptions of space use, and as a result, the analysis of animal home ranges has primarily been a descriptive endeavor. In this paper, we characterize coyote (Canis latrans) home range...

Movement ecology thrives from a successful synergy of data and models. In a field where experiments are difficult or impossible, linking field data with mathematical and statistical models allows us to test hypotheses and increase our quantitative understanding of movement processes. Owing to...

There are many design methodologies and philosophies intended to provide structural integrity or increase structural robustness, thereby making structures resistant to progressive collapse. However, there is little information that reveals sources and levels of inherent robustness in structural...

Predicting local and nonlocal effects of resources on animal space use using a mechanistic step-selection function.

Schaefer, J., Bastille-Rousseau, G., Murray, D., Lewis, M.A., Potts, J.R.
Predicting space use patterns of animals from their interactions with the environment is fundamental for understanding the effect of habitat changes on ecosystem functioning. Recent attempts to address this problem have sought to unify resource selection analysis, where animal space use is...
