The combined use of global positioning system (GPS) technology and motion sensors within the discipline movement ecology has increased over recent years. This is particularly case for instrumented wildlife, with many studies now opting to record parameters at high (infra-second) sampling frequencies. However, detail which GPS loggers can elucidate fine-scale depends on precision accuracy fixes, being affected by signal reception. We hypothesized that animal behaviour was main factor...
Abstract The combined use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and motion sensors within the discipline movement ecology has increased over recent years. This is particularly case for instrumented wildlife, with many studies now opting to record parameters at high (infra-second) sampling frequency. However, detail which GPS loggers can elucidate fine-scale depends on precision accuracy fixes, (specifically, location error fix success rate) being affected by signal reception. We...
<title>Abstract</title> Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, leading researchers to seek underlying rules that govern these patterns mathematical models best describe them. Using high-resolution (≥ 10 Hz) from 43 vertebrate species across diverse taxa, mass, lifestyles, we show are universally composed of straight-line steps interspersed with sharp turns, echoing a pattern documented for lower taxa such as bacteria. We report how ‘fundamental step lengths’...
