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...

Simulating how animals learn: a new modelling framework applied to the process of optimal foraging
Download2022-01-01
Peter R. Thompson, Melodie Kunegel-Lion, Mark A. Lewis
Animal learning has interested ecologists and psychologists for over a century. Mathematical models that explain how animals store and recall information have gained attention recently. Central to this work is statistical decision theory (SDT), which relates information uptake in animals to...
