Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio-temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions
Download2022-03-30
Jonathan R. Potts, Valeria Giunta, Mark A. Lewis
A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio-temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models....

Effects of energy development on habitat use of an avian peatland specialist and generalist at multiple spatial scales
DownloadFall 2020
With the persistent demand for petroleum energy products, the energy development footprint in northern Alberta continues to expand, perforating habitat in the boreal forest. Modern in situ, or below ground, bitumen extraction techniques have broadened the extent of accessible reserves and are...

Energy Selection Functions: Modelling the Energetic Drivers of Animal Movement and Habitat Use
DownloadSpring 2021
Energetics are a key driver of animal decision-making, as survival depends on the balance between foraging benefits and movement costs. However, this fundamental perspective is often missing from habitat selection studies, which mainly describe correlations between observed space use and...

Global dynamics of diffusive animal movement models under habitat degradation, destruction, and fragmentation: eigenvalue problems and geometry at the landscape scale
DownloadFall 2023
Habitat loss is a significant problem and the leading cause of species extinctions and decreases in biodiversity worldwide. This issue is primarily driven by human activities, making it crucial to understand the consequences of our actions as a global community. The empirical study of habitat...

Jonathan R. Potts, Mark A. Lewis
Mechanistic home range analysis (MHRA) is a highly effective tool for understanding spacing patterns of animal populations. It has hitherto focused on populations where animals defend their territories by communicating indirectly, e.g. via scent marks. However, many animal populations defend...

Long-term changes in migratory patterns of elk (Cervus canadensis) in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench of British Columbia, Canada
DownloadSpring 2021
Migration can be described as a round-trip movement between distinct ranges and is thought to be a response to a spatiotemporal variation in resources. Large vertebrate herbivores such as ungulates often migrate to track seasonal variability in high quality forage and reduce predation risk....

Robustness of movement models can models bridge the gap between temporal scales of data sets and behavioural processes
Download2015-01-01
Ulrike E. Schla¨gel, Mark A. Lewis
Discrete-time random walks and their extensions are common tools for analyzing animal movement data. In these analyses, resolution of temporal discretization is a critical feature. Ideally, a model both mirrors the relevant temporal scale of the biological process of interest and matches the data...

Territoriality and home-range dynamics in meerkats, Suricata suricatta: a mechanistic modelling approach
Download2015-01-01
Andrew W. Bateman, Mark A. Lewis, Gabriella Gall, Marta B. Manser, Tim H. Clutton-Brock
Multiple approaches exist to model patterns of space use across species, among them resource selection analysis, statistical home-range modelling and mechanistic movement modelling. Mechanistic home-range models combine the benefits of these approaches, describing emergent territorial patterns...
