Walking in Their Footsteps: New Approaches to Identify Behavioural Processes and Define Home Ranges Using Animal Movement Data
DownloadFall 2014
Animal movement and space-use patterns influence the distribution and abundance of species, predator-prey interactions, and many other ecological processes. Different approaches are used to study individual's space-use strategies and each approach suffers from unique challenges. The mechanistic...

Understanding how populations are structured and how they use natural and anthropogenic spaces is essential for effective wildlife management. A total of 510 barren-ground (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus), 176 boreal (R. t. caribou), 11 mountain woodland (R. t. caribou), and 39 island (R. t....

Syncrude Canada Ltd. Lease 17 is located in the boreal mixedwood forest ecosystem. It lies within an area of moderately-low biological productivity. Thirty per cent of the lease is in the muskeg habitat type. The winter climate is severe. Energy cycling between soils, plants and animals occurs...

Mating systems evolve in response to factors that influence the distribution and availability of mates. In turn mating systems can influence species life histories as a result of sexual selection. Most of what is known about sexual selection in large mammals comes from long-term studies of...

Camera traps are an increasingly popular tool for wildlife management. Studies that use detection rates as a simple index of relative abundance assume that movement is not density-dependent. More complex techniques such as spatially-explicit capture recapture models, occupancy models, or...

Modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as adiposity, are already associated with atherosclerotic progression in childhood. Less is known about whether physical activity (PA) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis in non-clinical samples of children. This...

Territoriality is a phenomenon exhibited throughout nature. On the individual level, it is the processes by which organisms exclude others of the same species from certain parts of space. On the population level, it is the segregation of space into separate areas, each used by subsections of the...
