Range residency determines how movement persistence shapes encounter rates
Anudeep Surendran, Luisa Ramirez, Justin M. Calabrese +2
Encounters between individuals link movement behavior to population-level processes such as predation and disease transmission. For many animal species, movement can be modeled as…
How animal movement influences wildlife-vehicle collision risk: a mathematical framework for range-resident species
Benjamin Garcia de Figueiredo, Inês Silva, Michael J. Noonan +4
Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) threaten both biodiversity and human safety worldwide. Despite empirical efforts to characterize the major determinants of WVC risk and optimize m…
Counting statistics and inference limits for reactions driven by latent ergodic dynamics
Benjamin Garcia de Figueiredo, Justin M. Calabrese, William F. Fagan +1
Many natural phenomena--from chemical reactions to biological encounters and sensor detections--are described through counts of discrete events. Such events occur at random times w…
Online games: a novel approach to explore how partial information influences human random searches
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, Cristobal Lopez
Many natural processes rely on optimizing the success ratio of a search process. We use an experimental setup consisting of a simple online game in which players have to find a tar…
