ABSTRACT Movement is essential in the ecology of most animals, and it typically consumes a large proportion of individual energy budgets. Environmental conditions modulate the energetic cost of movement (cost of transport, COT), and th... Read More

History and significance of tropical cave biology
- ARPHA Conference Abstracts
- VOL. 5
on Jul 14, 2022
“Nothing could possibly live there!” They said. Indeed, until recently, few specialized cave-adapted animals were known from volcanic, tropical, or oceanic island caves, and plausible theories had been put forward to explain their absence. But assume... Read More
Trees and people determine the feeding activity of a migratory bird in an urban mega-park of Mexico city
- Avian Biology Research
- VOL. 15
on Jul 14, 2022
Feeding research is relevant to comprehend wildlife use of urban systems and to guide management practices. Coupling foraging with habitat assessments is important because environmental conditions affect animal access to food, leading to variations ... Read More

Aim. To analyse the data on spreading and population of the common hamster in Western Siberia from the mid‐20th to early 21st centuries and to determine the major predictors affecting these parameters.Material and Methods. Long‐term data on species’ ... Read More
Effects of cavity orientation on nesting success inferred from long-term monitoring of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker
- Scientific Reports
- VOL. 12
on Jul 8, 2022
Animals that create structures often display non-random patterns in the direction of their constructions. This tendency of oriented construction is widely presumed to be an adaptive trait of the constructor\u2019s extended phenotype, but there is lit... Read More
Detectability and predator strategy affect egg depredation rates: Implications for mitigating nest depredation in farmlands
- Science of The Total Environment
- VOL. 829
on Jul 1, 2022
Predation is a major evolutionary force in animal ecology. Mechanisms by which prey coloration provides camouflage has been widely studied. However, predator response to prey camouflage and concealment has received less attention. Understanding veget... Read More
Modelling the role of predation on disease burdens of prey
- Journal of Animal Ecology
- VOL. 91
on Jul 1, 2022
Research Highlight: Brandell, E. E., Cross, P. C., Smith, D. W., Rogers, W., Galloway, N. L., MacNulty, D. R., Stahler, D. R., Treanor, J. & Hudson, P. J. (2022). Examination of the interaction between age-specific predation and chronic disease in th... Read More
Micro-sized open-source and low-cost GPS loggers below 1 g minimise the impact on animals while collecting thousands of fixes
- PLOS ONE
- VOL. 17
on Jun 29, 2022
GPS-enabled loggers have been proven as valuable tools for monitoring and understanding animal movement, behaviour and ecology. While the importance of recording accurate location estimates is well established, deployment on many, especially small sp... Read More
Resonant relations: eco-lalia, political ec(h)ology and autistic ways of worlding
- Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space
on Jun 26, 2022
Echolalia – the repetition of words and phrases gleaned from one's environment – is often treated as a key behavioural marker of autism. Along with other perceived ‘stereotypies’, it is dismissed by Western biomedical and political discourses as dis... Read More
A Spark in the Dark: Uncovering Natural Activity Patterns of Mormyrid Weakly Electric Fish
- Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
- VOL. 10
on Jun 15, 2022
To understand animal ecology, observation of wildlife in the natural habitat is essential, but particularly challenging in the underwater realm. Weakly electric fishes provide an excellent opportunity to overcome some of these challenges because they... Read More
Risky business: How an herbivore navigates spatiotemporal aspects of risk from competitors and predators
- Ecological Applications
on Jun 14, 2022
Understanding factors that influence animal behavior is central to ecology. Basic principles of animal ecology imply that individuals should seek to maximize survival and reproduction, which means carefully weighing risk against reward. Decisions bec... Read More
\u2018Holey\u2019 niche! finding holes in niche hypervolumes using persistence homology
- Journal of Mathematical Biology
- VOL. 84
on Jun 9, 2022
Living organisms are limited in the range of values of ecological factors they can explore. This defines where animals exist (or could exist) and forms an ecological fingerprint that explains species\u2019 distribution at global scales. Species\u2019... Read More
First Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Observation of Epimeletic Behavior in Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins.
- Animals : an open access journal from MDPI
- VOL. 12
on Jun 5, 2022
Epimeletic behavior has been reported in various species of cetaceans and sometimes in wild populations during vessel-based surveys. Epimeletic behavior in cetaceans involves complex social interactions which have been described using observational a... Read More

Life in 2.5D: Animal Movement in the Trees
- Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
- VOL. 10
on Jun 3, 2022
The complex, interconnected, and non-contiguous nature of canopy environments present unique cognitive, locomotor, and sensory challenges to their animal inhabitants. Animal movement through forest canopies is constrained; unlike most aquatic or aeri... Read More

Recent trends in movement ecology of animals and human mobility
- Movement Ecology
- VOL. 10
on May 25, 2022
Movement is fundamental to life, shaping population dynamics, biodiversity patterns, and ecosystem structure. In 2008, the movement ecology framework (MEF Nathan et al. in PNAS 105(49):19052\u201319059, 2008) introduced an integrative theory of organ... Read More
