A unifying theory for 2D spatial redistribution kernels with applications to model-fitting in ecology
Download2020-01-01
Dean C. Koch, Mark A. Lewis, Subhash R. Lele
When building models to explain the dispersal patterns of organisms, ecologists often use an isotropic redistribution kernel to represent the distribution of movement distances based on phenomenological observations or biological considerations of the underlying physical movement mechanism....

Polar bear conservation faces significant challenges under Arctic warming, especially with respect to habitat loss and the resulting impacts on their seasonal energetic uptake and maintenance. Polar bears rely on sea ice for hunting, mating, denning, and rearing of offspring, and the availability...

Seasonal habitat use, habitat selection, and migratory behaviours of Stone’s sheep (Ovis dalli stonei) in northern British Columbia, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Habitats and migration corridors used by wildlife have become increasingly modified by anthropogenic disturbances, and in many cases have resulted in population declines and local extirpations. To conserve ungulate populations, management strategies often focus on identifying and mitigating...

The Use of Movement-Based Tests for the Prediction of Non-Contact Low Back Injuries in Uninjured Military Personnel: A six-month prospective cohort study
DownloadFall 2021
Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is the most reported musculoskeletal complaint in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). By identifying low-tech movement-based tests that predict risk of future non-contact low back injury (LBI), we could create an easy to administer screening test. It may then...
