Animal movement, search strategies and behavioural ecology: a cross-disciplinary way forward.
A long historical tradition exists among mathematicians, biologists and theoretical ecologists on the topic of quantifying, up-scaling and modelling the statistical properties of animal movement. Nevertheless, new paradigms and technical challenges have recently pervaded the field, attracting renewed interest, as evidenced by the large body of literature on the topic, and by the recent series o...
متن کاملEnergy landscapes shape animal movement ecology.
The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in the natural, heterogeneous environment. Construction of "energy landscapes," which relate animal locality to the cost of transport, can clarify whether, to what extent, and how movement properties are attributable to en...
متن کاملUnrealistic animal movement rates as behavioural bouts: a reply
1. Johnson et al . ( Journal of Animal Ecology , 2002, 71 , 225–235) proposed a technique for stratifying the movements of ungulates into smalland large-scale behaviours. They identified movement paths for woodland caribou and fitted a nonlinear curve to the logfrequency of movement rates. They assumed that slow small-scale movements were correlated with foraging activities in patches and faste...
متن کاملBehavioural Sciences at University of Health Sciences: the Way Forward.
BACKGROUND The association of medical ethics with teaching and training and health profession has been informal, largely dependent on role modelling and the social contract of the physicians with the community that they abide by. This study was conducted to examine the effect, if any, of introducing the subject of Behavioural Sciences on students' performance in the clinical years' 'viva voce' ...
متن کاملThe 3Rs and animal welfare - conflict or the way forward?
The animal experiment is central to the 3R concept. In European law, animal experiments are classed according to their aims. In the German animal protection law, they are classed, e.g. as interventions and treatments for experimental purposes, for further education and training, or for the production, preparation, storage or multiplication of substances, products or organisms and for the fulfil...
