1. Although the home range is a fundamental ecological concept, there considerable debate over how it best measured. There substantial literature concerning precision and accuracy of all commonly used estimation methods; however, has been considerably less work estimates vary with sampling regime, this affects statistical inferences. 2. We propose new procedure, based on variance components analysis using generalized mixed effects models to examine regime. 3. To demonstrate method we analyse...
Abstract The paradigm‐changing opportunities of biologging sensors for ecological research, especially movement ecology, are vast, but the crucial questions how best to match most appropriate and sensor combinations specific biological analyse complex data, mostly ignored. Here, we fill this gap by reviewing optimize use techniques answer in ecology synthesize into an Integrated Biologging Framework (IBF). We highlight that multisensor approaches a new frontier biologging, while identifying...
Animal home range use is a central focus of ecological research. However, how and why size varies between individuals not well studied or understood for most species. We develop hierarchical analytical approach—using generalized linear mixed‐effects modeling time series sizes—that allows variance in to be decomposed into components due variation temporal, spatial, individual‐level processes, also facilitating intra‐ interspecific comparative analyses. applied the approach data from roe deer...
There are numerous examples of phenological shifts that recognized both as indicators climate change and drivers ecosystem change. A pressing challenge is to understand the causal mechanisms by which affects phenology. We combined annual population census data individual longitudinal (1992–2018) on grey seals, Halicheorus grypus , quantify relationship between pupping season phenology sea surface temperature. temperature increase 2°C was associated with a advance approximately seven days at...
Abstract Over the past five decades, a large number of wild animals have been individually identified by various observation systems and/or temporary tracking methods, providing unparalleled insights into their lives over both time and space. However, so far there is no comprehensive record uniquely nor where data metadata are stored, for example photos, physiological genetic samples, disease screens, information on social relationships. Databases currently do not offer unique identifiers...
L'istrice, il piu grande roditore della fauna italiana, ha colonizzato negli ultimi 30 anni gran parte del territorio italiano, ma ancora scarse sono le conoscenze scientifiche su questa specie. un erbivoro generalista capace di colonizzare habitat molto diversi, mostra una marcata flessibilita nell´uso dello spazio: lo home range puo variare da poco 10 a oltre 700 e i siti alimentazione visitati possono essere localizzati 4 km dalla tana. Lo studio dell'uso habitat di specie in ambienti...
