Neohelice granulata burrow fidelity behaviour related to landscape heterogeneity
(Springer, 2018-11-07)
Neohelice granulata provides an interesting animal model for studying behavioural process because it is widely distributed, ensuring variability related to different environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to ...
Spatial and temporal variation in the migration of Ruddy-headed Goose in southern South America using satellite tagging
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-04-30)
Ruddy-headed Goose Chloephaga rubidiceps is the smallest of the five South American sheldgeese and has two separate populations: one sedentary, which resides in the Malvinas/Falkland Islands and one migratory that overwinters ...
Motivated exploratory behaviour in the rat: the role of hippocampus and the histaminergic neurotransmission
(Elsevier Science, 2008-12)
Exploration is one of most basic adaptive behavioural responses, giving the animal an important evolutionary advantage to survive in a changing environment. Inspection of novel environments might be come with motivated ...
Using approximate Bayesian inference for a “steps and turns” continuous-time random walk observed at regular time intervals
(PeerJ, 2020-02)
The study of animal movement is challenging because movement is a process modulated by many factors acting at different spatial and temporal scales. In order to describe and analyse animal movement, several models have ...
Migration quantified: Constructing models and linking them with data
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
This chapter discusses how models, combined with modern data sources and statistical methods, can be used to test different hypotheses about the causes of migration. It presents mathematical formulations for migration and ...
Intentional explanations and teleological explanations of animal behaviourExplicaciones intencionales y explicaciones teleológicas de la conducta animal

Modelling long-term changes in soil phosphorus and carbon under contrasting fertiliser and grazing management in New Zealand hill country
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2019-11)
Soil carbon (C) stocks under permanent New Zealand pastures vary with slope and aspect due to differences in primary production, animal behaviour and nutrient return. An existing nutrient transfer model was extended using ...
Flexible paddle sheds new light on speed: A novel method for the remote measurement of swim speed in aquatic animals
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2008-12)
Speed is a key determinant of energy expenditure in free-living animals, and particularly in marine vertebrates, where power requirements for swimming increase as a cubed function of the speed. However, current devices ...
