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...

Food availability and grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) selection of post-fire and thinned forests in the mountain national parks of Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Human-caused mortality and habitat loss have led to the extirpation of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) across much of their North American range. Today, these factors continue to limit extant grizzly bear populations as productive habitats often occur in areas with elevated mortality risk creating...

The Importance and Influence of the Human Dimensions in Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos) Conservation
DownloadFall 2018
Conservation practitioners increasingly recognize the importance and influence of the social context in conservation outcomes. From local stories to newsprint articles, the language we use, the stories we tell, and the interactions we have with wildlife species can influence human relationships...

Ungulates are known to avoid predation by grouping up, increasing vigilance, and reducing residency time among preferred habitats. Similarly, shifting return rates may represent a means of pre-emptively minimizing exposure to risk by being less predictable on the landscape to predators. We...
