Assessing bias and robustness of social network metrics using GPS based radio-telemetry data

This study evaluates the bias and robustness of social network metrics using GPS telemetry data from five ungulate species, showing that global metrics are robust while local metrics are unreliable with low sampling.

Identifying the environmental drivers of corridors and predicting connectivity between seasonal ranges in multiple populations of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) as tools for conserving migration

The paper identifies environmental drivers of migration corridors and predicts connectivity between seasonal ranges of Alpine ibex populations to aid conservation.

Food resources drive rodent population demography mediated by seasonality and inter-specific competition

This study investigates how food resources, seasonality, and competition shape rodent population dynamics across different latitudes.

Investigating tri-trophic interactions using bio-energetic demographic models

The paper develops a bioenergetic demographic model to study tri-trophic interactions in Yellowstone, showing that wolf reintroduction reduced elk numbers and increased vegetation biomass.

Memory drives the formation of animal home ranges: evidence from a reintroduction

The paper uses a mechanistic movement model to show memory and resource preferences drive home range formation in reintroduced roe deer.

Experimental evidence of memory-based foraging decisions in a large wild mammal

The paper demonstrates that roe deer use memory, not perception, to track resource dynamics in their home range through a cognitive movement model.

Preference and familiarity mediate spatial responses of a large herbivore to experimental manipulation of resource availability

This study shows that roe deer adjust their movement and home range size based on resource availability and individual preference, highlighting the role of site fidelity in home range maintenance.
