Territoriality and home-range dynamics in meerkats, Suricata suricatta: a mechanistic modelling approach.
Multiple approaches exist to model patterns of space use across species, among them resource selection analysis, statistical home-range modelling and mechanistic movement modelling. Mechanistic home-range models combine the benefits of these approaches, describing emergent territorial patterns based on fine-scale individual- or group-movement rules and incorporating interactions with neighbours...
متن کاملState-Space Modelling of the Drivers of Movement Behaviour in Sympatric Species
Understanding animal movement behaviour is key to furthering our knowledge on intra- and inter-specific competition, group cohesion, energy expenditure, habitat use, the spread of zoonotic diseases or species management. We used a radial basis function surface approximation subject to minimum description length constraint to uncover the state-space dynamical systems from time series data. This ...
متن کاملUsing national movement databases to help inform responses to swine disease outbreaks in Scotland: the impact of uncertainty around incursion time
Modelling is an important component of contingency planning and control of disease outbreaks. Dynamic network models are considered more useful than static models because they capture important dynamic patterns of farm behaviour as evidenced through animal movements. This study evaluates the usefulness of a dynamic network model of swine fever to predict pre-detection spread via movements of pi...
متن کاملDynamic MLC Tracking Using 4D Lung Tumor Motion Modelling and EPID Feedback
Background: Respiratory motion causes thoracic movement and reduces targeting accuracy in radiotherapy. Objective: This study proposes an approach to generate a model to track lung tumor motion by controlling dynamic multi-leaf collimators. Material and Methods: All slices which contained tumor were contoured in the 4D-CT images for...
متن کاملStatistical modelling of individual animal movement: an overview of key methods and a discussion of practical challenges
With the influx of complex and detailed tracking data gathered from electronic tracking devices, the analysis of animal movement data has recently emerged as a cottage industry amongst biostatisticians. New approaches of ever greater complexity are constantly being added to the literature. In this paper, we review what we believe to be some of the most popular and most useful classes of statist...
متن کاملThe performance of bolt-reinforced and shotcreted in-stope pillar in a rockburst prone areas
Historically, the design of the in-stope pillar in underground excavations has been based on empirical formulae and numerical modelling. Although these design methods have been extensively applied in several gold mines in South Africa, rockburst, in-stope pillar burst/failure are continuously reported as the major problem faced by mines. Therefore, this study attempts to compare the performance...
