Foraging theory upscaled: the behavioural ecology of herbivore movement.
We outline how principles of optimal foraging developed for diet and food patch selection might be applied to movement behaviour expressed over larger spatial and temporal scales. Our focus is on large mammalian herbivores, capable of carrying global positioning system (GPS) collars operating through the seasonal cycle and dependent on vegetation resources that are fixed in space but seasonally...
متن کاملAnimal 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 کاملBehavioural Ecology
Animals are exposed to many conflicting ecological pressures, and the effect of one may often obscure that of another. A likely example of this is the so-called ‘‘lunar phobia’’ or reduced activity of bats during full moon. The main reason for lunar phobia was thought to be that bats adjust their activity to avoid predators. However, bats can be prey, but many are carnivorous and therefore pred...
متن کاملBehavioural Ecology
Selective oviposition can have important consequences for recruitment limitation and population dynamics of organisms with complex life cycles. Temporal and spatial variation in oviposition may be driven by environmental or behavioral constraints. The goals of this study were to: (1) develop an empirical model of the substrate characteristics that best explain observed patterns of oviposition b...
