Simulating how animals learn: a new modelling framework applied to the process of optimal foraging
Peter R. Thompson, Melodie Kunegel-Lion, Mark A. Lewis
Animal learning has interested ecologists and psychologists for over a century. Mathematical models that explain how animals store and recall information have gained attention rece…
Boosting propagule transport models with individual-specific data from mobile apps
Samuel M. Fischer, Pouria Ramazi, Sean Simmons +2
Management of invasive species and pathogens requires information about the traffic of potential vectors. Such information is often taken from vector traffic models fitted to surve…
Detecting seasonal episodic-like spatiotemporal memory patterns using animal movement modelling
Peter R. Thompson, Andrew E. Derocher, Mark A. Edwards +1
1. Spatial memory plays a role in the way animals perceive their environments, resulting in memory-informed movement patterns that are observable to ecologists. Developing mathemat…
Managing aquatic invasions: optimal locations and operating times for watercraft inspection stations
Samuel M. Fischer, Martina Beck, Leif-Matthias Herborg +1
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) cause significant ecological and economic damages around the world. A major spread mechanism for AIS is traffic of boaters transporting their watercr…
Second-generation stoichiometric mathematical model to predict methane emissions from oil sands tailings
Jude D. Kong, Hao Wang, Tariq Siddique +4
Microbial metabolism of fugitive hydrocarbons produces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil sands tailings ponds (OSTP) and end pit lakes (EPL) that retain semisolid wastes from…
Integrated step selection analysis: bridging the gap between resource selection and animal movement
Tal Avgar, Jonathan R. Potts, Mark A. Lewis +1
A resource selection function is a model of the likelihood that an available spatial unit will be used by an animal, given its resource value. But how do we appropriately define av…
