Fall 2020
In movement ecology, many methods currently exist for analyzing and estimat- ing animal movement patterns and selection for habitat types. However, the accuracy of the estimates for quantifying animal movement and selection are difficult to determine, especially when data is missing. In the...

The field of animal personality, the study of adaptive among-individual behavioural differences in animal populations, has both exploded in popularity in the last few decades and come under heavy scrutiny by behavioural ecologists. The sudden interest in the field stems from the widespread...

Could Age, Sex and Physical Fitness Affect Blood Glucose Responses to Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes?
Download2019-11-13
Yardley, J. E., Brockman, N. K., Bracken, R. M.
Closed-loop systems for patients with type 1 diabetes are progressing rapidly. Despite these advances, current systems may struggle in dealing with the acute stress of exercise. Algorithms to predict exercise-induced blood glucose changes in current systems are mostly derived from data involving...

Differentiating the Lévy walk from a composite correlated random walk - Code
2015
Lewis, Mark A., Auger-Méthé, Marie, Plank, Michael J., Codling, Edward A., Derocher, Andrew E.
Source code for an R package that can be used to simulate and apply various search strategy models to movement data. This is the code used in the manuscript entitled: Differentiating the Lévy walk from a composite correlated random walk. See https://github.com/MarieAugerMethe/CCRWvsLW for any...

Differentiating the Lévy walk from a composite correlated random walk - Data
2015
Lewis, Mark A., Auger-Méthé, Marie, Plank, Michael J., Codling, Edward A., Derocher, Andrew E.
This the data associated with the manuscript entitled: Differentiating the Lévy walk from a composite correlated random walk. It is the step lengths and turning angles of two bears collared in the Hudson Bay. The data is the step length and turning angle measured at regular time intervals (every...

Van Moorter, B., Mcloughlin, P. D., Gaillard, J. M., Duncan, P., Boyce, M. S., Delorme, D., Klein, F., Bonenfant, C., Messier, F., Said, S.
The relationship between individual performance and nonrandom use of habitat is fundamental to ecology; however, empirical tests of this relationship remain limited, especially for higher orders of selection like that of the home range. We quantified the association between lifetime reproductive...

Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations between physical activity, screen time, and fitness in a sample of young children from Edmonton, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Background: High fitness is associated with several positive health outcomes; however, fitness of Canadian children has declined over the past two decades. Correlates of fitness in children under 10 years of age are relatively unexplored, and few studies involving young children have looked at...

Resources and Reproductive Trade-offs Affect Fitness, Life History Traits, and Sexual Selection in Red Squirrels
DownloadSpring 2017
Animals face trade-offs throughout life between competing functions, such as between self-maintenance, reproduction, and survival. Resource allocation between these competing functions leads to different patterns of life history traits, changes in investment in reproductive effort, and different...

Step selection techniques uncover the environmental predictors of space use patterns in flocks of Amazonian birds
Download2014-01-01
Potts, Jonathan R., Mokross, Karl, Stouffer, Philip C., Lewis, Mark A.
Understanding the behavioral decisions behind animal movement and space use patterns is a key challenge for behavioral ecology. Tools to quantify these patterns from movement and animal–habitat interactions are vital for transforming ecology into a predictive science. This is particularly...
